German Chancellor Olaf Scholz formally announced Wednesday that after weeks of stalling and frustrating negotiations Berlin has agreed to send two battalions of Leopard 2 A6 tanks to Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n

In a statement the government said it would initially send one company of 14 tanks to Kyiv, though its aim is to send up to 88 tanks from its own stockpiles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scholz said,\u00a0“This decision follows our well-known line of supporting Ukraine to the best of our ability.\u00a0We are acting in a closely coordinated manner internationally.”<\/p>\n

GERMANY ‘NOW APPRECIATING THE MOMENT’ AS IT FINALLY AGREES TO SEND TANKS TO UKRAINE, GRAHAM SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Some 15 other EU nations that possess the German-made tanks in their own stocks and had increased the pressure on Berlin<\/a> in recent weeks to approve re-exports to Ukraine as the war nears the 12-month mark.<\/p>\n

“Germany will issue the appropriate transfer permits to partner countries that want to quickly deliver Leopard 2 tanks from their stocks to Ukraine,” confirmed the Wednesday statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is unclear when the tanks from Germany or allied nations will be in Ukraine, though the statement said training Ukrainian troops in Germany would begin “quickly.”<\/p>\n

Western officials have been sounding the alarm that allied nations could not stall anymore on the issue as Russia looks to launch a massive counter-offensive in the near future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

US MAY DELIVER ‘SIGNIFICANT NUMBER’ OF ABRAMS TANKS TO UKRAINE DESPITE PENTAGON MISGIVINGS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Reports late Tuesday surfaced showing that the U.S. has also decided to send its Abrams tanks despite weeks of expressing concerns over efficiency and maintenance cost.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But training on the more than 30 tanks the Pentagon is reportedly looking to send will push the delivery timeline back months, reported the Associated Press.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is unclear why the U.S. has finally decided to send its own tanks, though the decision comes as nations grew increasingly frustrated with Germany<\/a> which suggested earlier this month it would only send tanks if the U.S. also agreed to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

U.S. Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C, and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., urged the Biden administration Tuesday to send even three to five tanks if that\u2019s what it took to get the ball rolling on deploying Germany\u2019s Leopard 2 tanks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Defense officials have said it makes better sense to employ Ukraine with the German-made tanks as there are “thousands” of them throughout Europe and training along with maintenance is far more manageable than on the more advanced Abrams tanks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
