“And I thank each and every one of you who support us in this.” Discussions on delivering the tanks must now lead to decisions, Zelenskyy demanded. “Decisions that really strengthen our defense against (Russian) terrorists.” Ukraine’s allies had the required number of tanks. “If we have the necessary weight in the decisions, we are happy to say thank you for every important decision,” emphasized Zelenskyy. “We’re still working on it.”
After much hesitation, Germany has decided to supply Ukraine with Leopard main battle tanks and allows other countries to do the same. The dpa learned of this on Tuesday in Berlin from coalition circles. “Spiegel” and NTV had already reported about it. According to information from “Spiegel”, it is planned to equip at least one company with the Leopard 2A6 version from the Bundeswehr stocks. That would require 14 of the weapons systems. Poland had previously announced that it wanted to supply a Leopard tank company to Ukraine. Finland and other countries are also prepared to do this.
