Poland: Germany’s failure to deliver Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine “unacceptable” | Europe | T.W.

Poland’s prime minister this Sunday (01.22.2023) was unusually harsh in his criticism of Germany’s decision not to supply Ukraine with Leopard 2 tanks, describing the state of Europe’s major economic power as “unacceptable”. The UK foreign minister also expressed his desire for German armored vehicles to end up in the hands of Ukrainian troops.

“Germany’s attitude is unacceptable. Almost a year has passed since the start of the war. Every day innocent people are dying,” Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told the local PAP news agency. “Russian bombs are wreaking havoc on Ukrainian cities. Civilian targets are being hit, women and children are dying,” he added.

Germany is reluctant to send heavy tanks or allow other countries to send German-made goods to Ukraine to repel an invasion from Russia. Although Poland has announced that it is ready to deliver 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, it is negotiating with about 15 countries to form an alliance that will supply these cars, and Germany is producing armored vehicles, so take this step. He came from Berlin.

Help protect yourself

UK Foreign Secretary James expressed himself brilliantly, saying in an interview with Sky News that London also wanted an international agreement to supply German tanks to Ukraine. The politician said the armored vehicles were necessary to repel a Russian invasion, but reiterated that German approval was needed to carry out the transfer.

“Of course I would like to see the Ukrainians equipped with something like the Leopard 2, artillery systems supplied by us or other allies,” Wise said. “Friends should help donate the best military equipment to help Ukraine defend itself against this brutal invasion,” he added.

Army experts say the Leopard tanks are well-suited to Ukraine’s battlefield needs.
