“Marder” from Germany, “Bradley” from USA
Biden and Scholz expressed their shared determination to “provide Ukraine with the necessary financial, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support for as long as is necessary.” Therefore, the United States wants to provide Ukraine with Bradley armored personnel carriers.
