The discussion about possible German main battle tank deliveries to the Ukraine drags on agonizingly; Now things seem to be moving: After German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock declared at the weekend that Germany would not object if Poland wanted to send German Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said on Tuesday morning that his state had submitted a corresponding application in Berlin.
