Germany pledged to supply Ukraine with more than 100 Leopard 2 battle tanks in a joint effort with European allies, providing Kyiv’s forces with a significant upgrade against their Russian invaders.

Ukrainian forces repelled attacks near eight settlements in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions over the past day, the General Staff said on Facebook. Russian troops conducted offensive operations in the directions of Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiyivka and Novopavlivka, while being on the defensive on the Kupyansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson axes, according to the statement.

“This decision follows our well-known line of supporting Ukraine to the best of our ability,” Chancellor Olaf Scholz said. “We are acting in a way that is closely agreed and coordinated internationally.”Zelensky signed a decree on personal five-year sanctions against businessman Vadim Novinskiy and senior clergymen with the Russian-subordinated part of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine.

Kuleba replaces Kyrylo Tymoshenko, who quit a day earlier without giving a reason, as Zelensky dismissed at least 10 officials in a government shakeup following an outcry over perceived excesses by civil servants amid the nation’s efforts to fight Russia.As the US and Poland prepared to send battle tanks to Ukraine, Zelensky underscored how vital the armoured weapons could be for success against the Russian invaders.
