Germany’s chancellor faces growing pressure to give green light to export of Leopard 2 tanks to Kyiv
US President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke again on Tuesday, mainly about support for Ukraine, according to a laconic press release released by the White House.
Germany’s chancellery did not release any information about the talks.
The two leaders discussed support for the Ukrainian military last week, when it was announced that both the US and Germany would send several dozen armored fighting vehicles to Kyiv.
The day after Friday, during a meeting at the US Ramstein base in Germany, new arms deliveries, likely including heavy tanks, are expected to be discussed. Germany’s new Defense Minister Boris Pistorius is expected to represent the German government at this meeting.
Chancellor Solz is facing increasing pressure, particularly from his European partners, to give the green light to the export of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. The leaders of Finland, Lithuania, Poland and Britain have already spoken about it. A few days ago, London formalized the sending of British-made tanks to Kyiv.
