The German Government has approved the shipment of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and is willing to authorize the transfer to that country of at least one company of the model Leopard 2A6according to information from the German weekly Der Spiegel.

Ukraine has been insistently in recent weeks demanding from its partners the delivery of German Leopard tanks, which need prior authorization from Berlin, whose reluctance had revealed a new disagreement between kyiv’s allies, especially with regard to Poland and the Baltic countries, the most critical and belligerent with the suspicions of Germany.

Finally, Olaf Scholz’s Executive has not only authorized the export of tanks, but will also send its own.

Now, Ukraine will have these vehicles at a time when it is preparing an offensive to recover the eastern territories under Moscow’s control.

Precisely, this Tuesday it has been known in parallel that the United States Government is considering the possibility of sending a significant number of tanks to Ukraine Abrams M1as he has advanced The Wall Street Journal.

The newspaper indicated that the American delivery would be part of an agreement with Germany to unlock the delivery of its Leopard 2.

The yes in Berlin, therefore, could now also mean the arrival in Ukraine of the Abrams M1.
