NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reported a productive discussion with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius regarding supplying German battle tanks to Ukraine. He is confident that a solution will be found soon. In addition, at a joint press conference with Pistorius in Berlin, the NATO Secretary General endorsed a clear message from the German Defense Minister that NATO allies who have Leopards can begin preparations for their transfer.
