Germany will not deal with the issue of supply on its own.

Germany may agree to transfer Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. Berlin wants Washington to transfer Abrams.

According to Suddeutsche Zeitung, Scholz has already said several times that Germany will not act alone in this matter. At the same time, it is said that the US demands from the German government not only to allow the supply of Leopard from other countries, but also to hand them over to Kyiv independently.

“In a telephone conversation with US President Joe Biden on Tuesday, he made it clear that Germany can give way on the issue of delivery (Leopard 2 – ) only if the US, in turn, supplies Abrams-type main battle tanks,” the message reads. .

Leopard tanks for Ukraine – what is known

Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba called on Germany to reconsider its approach to the issue of the supply of Leopard 2 tanks. At the same time, the OPU believes that the Leopard 2 can be handed over following the results of the Ramstein-8 meeting.

At the same time, Poland and Finland said last week that they are ready to transfer Leopard tanks to the Armed Forces, but this requires Germany’s permission.

Ukraine also hopes to get enough Leopards for a full-fledged tank brigade.
