According to the latest announcements and reports, the United States, France, and Germany sending "tank killer" armored vehicles to Ukraine.

As part of its new $2.85 billion weapons package for Ukraine, the US will send Kyiv around 50 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles. Also, France is sending Ukraine AMX-10 RC, and Germany will deliver 40 Marder Infantry Fighting Vehicles, a high-mobility armored reconnaissance vehicle.

The decision to provide these advanced armored vehicle systems to Ukraine is a significant evolution in how the U.S. and its allies think about the Ukraine conflict and the Ukrainian military's capability. It is anticipated that Ukraine's mobile firepower and ground combat capabilities will improve due to implementing these systems, which will also assist the nation in carrying out offensive operations. 

The President of Ukraine has praised the United States, France, and Germany for providing such systems. He has stated that these vehicles are "exactly what is needed" for Ukrainian troops engaged in combat with Russian forces.

Meanwhile, officials stated that it was unclear whether Moscow was abiding by a unilateral ceasefire for the 36 hours leading up to Orthodox Christmas, which Ukraine has denounced as a ploy.
