Germany Will Deliver Leopards to Kyiv Welcomes Moscow Threatens to Escalate the Conflict

Berlin, Kiev, and Moscow: Germany will supply the Ukraine with contemporary Leopard 2 tanks and will permit other nations to do the same. Today in Berlin, chancellor olaf scholz gave official confirmation to the anticipated action, which denotes a shift in Germany's long-term stance. Scholz stated that the intention is to quickly provide Ukraine with two Leopard battalions.

The country that was attacked should benefit significantly from this in its conflict with Russia. On the other hand, Kyiv is "sincerely grateful" for Berlin's decision, which is also acknowledged by Western allies, despite Moscow's criticism that it was extremely risky.

Scholz informed the Bundestag about the decision regarding the tank supply after making it known at a government meeting. Germany will provide 14 Leopard 2A6 tanks as part of the initial phase.

He anticipates that leopards will be sent to Ukraine from other nations as well. For this, Berlin's approval is required because, without it, exporting these tanks made in Germany to other nations is not possible.

Poland, Finland, or the Netherlands, as well as some other nations like Spain, are just a few examples of those that are thinking about providing leopards to Eastern European nations. Scholz assured Kiev of additional support today.

At the same time, he gave the people the assurance that Berlin works in tandem with the allies and will take all necessary precautions to keep NATO from becoming involved in a conflict with Russia. Germany initially resisted giving the Ukrainians German weapons because, historically, it did not want them to kill Russian soldiers. However, over time, and despite pressure from the allies, it eventually made a significant change.

Soon, tankers from Ukraine will begin receiving training in Germany. The process of getting ready to hand over the tanks will take three to four months, according to German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.

The German decision was deemed to be extremely dangerous by the Russian embassy in Berlin. He predicts that it will result in a further escalation of the conflict.

According to Marija Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, the arms shipments to Ukraine are a component of a war that was already planned against Russia. Volodymyr Zelenskyi, the president of Ukraine, thanked Scholz and the German people on behalf of his nation, which had first requested German tanks in March.

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine's foreign minister, formally requested that nations with Leopard 2 tanks send as many of them as they could to the country. Andrij Melnyk, Kuleb's deputy, thinks that the Western allies ought to now begin supplying warships and submarines as well.

Mateusz Morawiecki, the prime minister of Poland, hailed the German decision as a significant step in putting an end to Russia. Britain and France also applauded the move. The Leopard tanks will improve Ukraine's defense capabilities, according to Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Petr Fiala.

Additionally, Scholz's Social Democrats' coalition partners, the German Greens and Free Democrats, applauded the action. Prime Minister Petr Fiala (ODS) applauded the German government's decision to officially approve the supply of Leopard tanks to the Ukrainian army. The Leopard tanks will improve the country's defense capabilities.

"Chancellor Scholz and I confirmed yesterday (Tuesday) that deliveries to the Czech Republic will go ahead as scheduled. This does not alter the fact that we continue to work with our allies to coordinate future shipments of assistance necessary for Ukrainian defense, Fiala said, noting that the Czech Republic had given Ukraine T-72 tanks in order to help it fight off Russian invasion. Ukraine is currently defending itself against the Russian invasion.
