Germany will send 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and has authorised partner countries to also send them - despite threats from Russia.
It means other countries - such as Poland, Spain and Norway - which have stocks of the NATO-standard tank can now donate them to Kyiv. Yesterday, Moscow warned Berlin that sending tanks"does not bode well for future relations" - and told the US that should it authorise such a move it would be a"blatant provocation"."This decision follows our well-known line of supporting Ukraine to the best of our ability," German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a statement on Wednesday.
There had been a sense of frustration among some of Germany's allies about the delay in authorising the Leopards to go to Ukraine.
