Washington, May 19 -- Some US officials remained disappointed with the donation of decommissioned M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, the shipment of which to the country was confirmed by the Australian prime minister the day before, Australian broadcaster ABC reported.
The decommissioned tanks, which the government of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese promised to Ukraine last year, were considered "stuck" in the country for an indefinite period as of April. Australian Defence Ministry officials partly blamed resistance from the United States for the delay in their transfer. However, the day before, the prime minister said in a conversation with Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the decommissioned tanks had already been sent to Ukraine.
