The Czech Republic has been sending old Soviet-era tanks into Ukraine, providing badly needed heavy weapons to outgunned Ukrainian troops that are battling a much better-equipped Russian invasion force.
The efforts, described by three Czech and Slovak officials, mark the first time a foreign country has provided tanks to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion began Feb. 24. In a potentially even more important development, both the Czech Republic and neighboring Slovakia, which shares a border with Ukraine, are considering opening their military industrial installations to repair and refit damaged Ukrainian military equipment.

You needs tanks on the Texas border.
“A donor’s conference of some 35 nations, convened by the U.K. in London last week, agreed to supply Ukraine with long-range artillery, anti-aircraft systems and infantry fighting vehicles, but stopped short of endorsing the transfer of tanks.”
We can support our southern border and Ukraine’s independence at the same time.
You’re badly losing the Texas border, so it’s best you concentrate on that.
Sure. Material support for our border and moral support for Ukraine.
“Moscow has warned that it considers arms shipments legitimate targets. So far, however, it hasn’t been able to choke off the daily military shipments to Ukraine from Poland, Romania or Slovakia. Russia’s air force, so far, also hasn’t demonstrated the capacity to disrupt military convoys between the border and front-line staging areas.”
Nope.
“moral support for Ukraine” and a *hitload of javelins!
Quietly? Are they electric tanks? I mean since climate change is a concern for the fighters................
“Australia said this week it is flying Bushmaster armored vehicles to Europe for delivery to Ukraine, with the first four already painted in Ukrainian colors.”
“Quietly?” and then have a news conference with WSJ reporters.
Please show us how you are winning the Texas border battle?
It’s too bad we have no credibility as an honest broker of a peace deal between the combatants. Then we might help stop the killing.
Which is what we really all want, right?
“[Those deliberations are part of a realization that Russia’s war with Ukraine could drag on for months if not longer—and that, in a war of attrition, Russia’s overwhelming advantage in equipment could tilt the scales in Moscow’s favor.
“If the war is going to get longer and longer, the war equipment that is being damaged needs to get serviced,” said a Czech defense ministry official. “Ukrainian repair houses are 100% busy, and they are asking other nearby allies to help them with repairs.”]”
You’re suggesting the Czechs should send the tanks to US? I think we’ve got the tools, but Biden’s puppeteers don’t want to use them. Cloward-Piven in action.
“Hey Ukraine! We’re just going to leave these tanks at your border with the engines running. Whatever happens to them after that isn’t our responsibility...”
Dont the the czechs will help us on that one
We want a just peace, not just peace.
Who’s we.
