The People’s Deputy of Ukraine, Kira Rudik, described the “super happy” moment US President Joe Biden announced they would be sending Kyiv their main battle tanks on Wednesday evening.
Ukrainian officials, media commentators and civilians across the defending nation erupted into “applause” when US President Biden said the words “Abrams tanks” on Wednesday evening, a leading Ukrainian politician has told Express.co.uk.
Kira Rudik, the People’s Deputy of Ukraine, recounted the “super happy” moment when she and hundreds of thousands of other Ukrainians realised their days of “disappointment” over a lack of main battle tank pledges were over.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, Ms Rudik, said: “What is so important about today’s announcement is that finally, we see that our Allies have stopped playing second-hand to Russia.”
She added: “We hope that the decision to win the war, not just to exhaust Putin, is finally being made,” she said. “From what we can see, it is now being made.”
After days of uncertainty, difficulty and disappointment, she said Ukraine had had some “good news”.
With a relieved smile on her face, she concluded: “This is a big moment and so many people feel it. For so many of us in my country, the only fuel we have to run on is hope. Today, we were given more of that fuel.”
