Germany focuses on the US on the issue of supplying heavy weapons to Ukraine.

As Politico writes, according to two German officials, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s position on providing arms to Ukraine depends significantly on US President Joe Biden. At the same time, the UK’s plans to supply Ukraine with Challenger 2 tanks, which they might officially announce at a meeting in Ramstein on January 20, will increase pressure on Scholz. His argument that Germany should not act alone when sending Western tanks will lose its force. In addition, Poland has already announced the provision of Leopard tanks to Ukraine. Meanwhile, the US is not planning to send battle tanks in the near future, but negotiations between the US and Ukraine regarding the provision of Abrams tanks are ongoing.
