Germany won't prevent Poland from supplying Ukraine with Leopard tanks

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has said Germany would not be focusing on “road to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine.

This statement seems to be the clearest signal ever given from Berlin, for European allies to be able to hand over German production tanks to Ukraine, the BBC writes.

Asked in an interview with French television LCI what would happen if Poland sent its Leopard 2 tanks without German approval, Bayerbox responded through a translator saying that “for the moment the question was not made, but if they did us we wouldn't stay on the street. ”

We remember that huge diplomatic pressure has been put on Berlin to send its tanks, or at least to allow countries that possess them to export to Ukraine, as their producer, Berlin has the right to veto their transfer.

At a special international summit held Friday at the US military base in Ramstein, southwestern Germany, Berlin stubbornly refused to make a decision on whether to provide Leopard 2 Ukraine tanks, leading to a growing disappointment in Kiev and his allies.

This stand was also criticized by Poland's prime minister, Matthews Morawiecki, who described Periscope as unacceptable.

Germany's “position is unacceptable. It's been about a year since the beginning of the war. Innocent people are dying every day”, Morawieck said.
