Germany has decided to deliver Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
Germany is set to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, reported the newspaper Der Spiegel. According to the exclusive Der Spiegel report, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has decided to deliver battle tanks to Ukraine after months of debate. The report added that it will be part of a larger effort by Ukraine’s allies to send tanks to assist in the war. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is finalizing plans to send US-made Abrams tanks to Ukraine and could make an announcement as soon as this week, according to three US officials familiar with the deliberations. An announcement regarding the tanks could be part of an attempt to break a diplomatic logjam with Germany, which indicated to the US last week that it would not send its Leopard tanks to Ukraine unless the US also agreed to send its M1 Abrams tanks.
