Western forces agreed to increase their military support for Ukraine, but Berlin is still reluctant to send its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, despite growing criticism
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley at a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on whether to send modern tanks to Ukraine,Defence ministers met in Germany on Friday to discuss future military aid for Ukraine, but the talks were dominated by Berlin’s reluctance to provide Kyiv with Leopard 2 tanks and to allow other countries to send their own German-made tanks.
Mr Pistorius said he could not say when there would be a decision on the tanks, but that Germany was prepared to move fast if there was agreement between allies.He added that he had given his ministry the task to “undertake an examination of the stocks” of the tanks available, which is the closest the German government has so far come to suggesting it might be contemplating the use of the tanks in the war.
