Kyiv insists it needs advanced tanks to continue its defence against Russia's invasion
Germany's top diplomat says her country would not object if Poland decides to send Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine.
French TV channel LCI posted clips from an interview with Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Sunday in which she said her government has not received a formal request for approval from Warsaw but added "if we were asked, we would not stand in the way."
The Ukrainian government has insisted it needs advanced tanks to continue its defence against Russia's invasion and war. Berlin has hesitated in signing off on supplying the German-made Leopards, but agreed Friday to review its stocks.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki criticized Germany's reluctance, saying that if the country did not consent to transferring Leopard tanks to Ukraine, his country was prepared to build a "smaller coalition" of countries that would send theirs anyway.
