  • As Russia launches a new offensive, Western allies are sending heavier weaponry to Ukraine.

  • A US defense official told The Washington Post that Russia has less tanks than Ukraine.

  • UK intelligence said that Russia is still feeling the losses it sustained in the conflict.

A senior US defense official told The Washington Post that Ukraine has more tanks on the ground than Russia.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Post that the Ukrainians have more tanks in Ukraine than the Russians.

Insider was unable to independently verify this claim, and it's unclear how many tanks both Russia and Ukraine have.

The report comes as Western nations pledged to dispatch more heavy weaponry to Ukraine to help it defend itself against a renewed Russian offensive in the eastern Donbas region.

On Thursday, President Joe Biden announced an additional $800 million military aid package for Ukraine. The first package included hundreds of armored vehicles.

A Pentagon official told The New York Times that the US will help with the transfer of Soviet-made tanks. The official wouldn't say how many tanks would be sent or where they would come from.

European countries will provide heavy-duty weapons to Ukraine.

More than $3 billion in military aid has been sent to Ukraine by its allies.

Russian troops are losing equipment.

More than 800 tanks and over 2,000 combat armored machines have been lost by Russian troops since the start of the invasion, according to the Ukrainian armed forces.

Despite Russia's renewed focus in Donbas, they are still suffering from losses sustained earlier in the conflict, according to an intelligence briefing published by the British Ministry of Defence on Friday.

In order to try and reconstitute their forces, they have to send their equipment back to Russia for repairs.

Zelenskyy has been asking allies for months to send weapons. He said in a speech on Tuesday that if more war supplies had been given to it, it would have defeated Russia.
