- Ukraine has recently pressed the West for more advanced weapons to boost its ability to confront Russian forces on the battlefield. 

- Several countries have already announced new military support to Ukraine including the U.S.' $2.5 billion security package, which is the second largest ever announced by the U.S. 

– On Friday, Germany's Defense Minister Boris Pistorius denied that Berlin was unilaterally blocking the delivery of Leopard tanks to Ukraine and said the government would be ready to move quickly on the issue if there was consensus among allies.

- The Kremlin on Friday responded that Western countries supplying additional tanks to Ukraine would not change the course of the conflict and would add to the problems of the Ukrainian people.
