to Ukraine to aid the fight against Russia's invasion. France will supply AMX-10 RC light tanks to Ukraine, an aide to French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters Thursday, according to French news agency AFP. "I appreciate France agreeing to provide light armored combat vehicles to Ukraine – but this is not enough," Graham tweeted."The goal for 2023 is to give the Ukrainians the weapons they need to militarily defeat the Russian invaders. This requires heavy modern tanks.
"I am urging the Biden Administration to meet President Zelensky’s request for modern western tanks. The goal is quite simple: Defeat the Russians in Ukraine sooner rather than later," Graham said."Tanks would change the tide of battle."
