France may be the next country to send its tanks to Ukraine, but officials worry they could be 'a poisoned chalice'

• Western countries have committed to provide dozens of tanks to Ukraine in recent weeks.
• France is also considering sending its Leclerc tanks to Ukraine.
• Some French officials are worried that their tanks would create new logistical problems for Kyiv.

With several Western nations already pledging tanks for Ukraine, speculation is mounting that France may send its Leclerc main battle tanks.

But French defense officials question how useful the Leclerc would be, as Ukrainians already face the challenge of incorporating multiple Western tanks, including the US's M1 Abrams, Britain's Challenger 2, and Germany's Leopard 2.
