22 January 2023 at 21:03 German foreign minister says Poland can send tanks to Ukraine German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock says Germany will not stand in the way of Poland sending Leopard tanks to Ukraine. She said that in an interview with the French TV channel LCI, according to Reuters. – So far the question has not been asked, but if we were asked, we would not stand in the way, said Baerbock in the interview. Poland has previously said that it will send the tanks that Ukraine has requested. But since they are manufactured in Germany, the decision has had to wait for approval from the German side. Earlier this evening, French President Emmanuel Macron opened the door for France to also be able to send tanks to Ukraine. The tanks are crucial in the war, as they allow Ukrainian forces to advance much further when Russian forces are retreating. Thus, it will be possible to recover larger territory more quickly.
