Germany should be allowed to transfer German tanks to Ukraine from other countries while Berlin is still procrastinating over its own aid. This was stated by Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba in an interview with Tagesschau.

 He noted that Ukraine relies on Germany, as it is one of the few countries that truly has the potential to deliver. Thus, according to him, after all the discussions regarding the supply of German weapons, the decision about battle tanks remained the last. In all other matters there is movement and progress.

 "And we understand: if you, as the government, cannot make this last important decision yourself, then at least give the green light to the countries that have your tanks and are ready to provide us with these tanks. But for this they need your permission," he said. 

 According to him, the official answer from Berlin could be: we need a written request and then we will consider it.

 At the same time, Kuleba noted that we live in the real world and understand that countries conduct their research before submitting an official request.

 "We want an honest approach to the tank question, without delay. As we have learned in the last ten months, it will happen in any case - it is only a matter of time. Why torture yourself, us and everyone, and not just, without delay, make a decision , which you can be proud of?" - asked the minister.

 Note that Leopard 2 tanks are developed in Germany and cannot be transferred to Ukraine by other countries without the country's approval.
