Germany’s Government has not received any requests to authorise the delivery of German-built Leopard battle tanks from its allies to Ukraine, a spokesperson has said this morning.
As detailed over a number of posts here earlier, it comes as Poland and other countries push for the vehicles to be sent.
“There are procedures for this,” the government spokesperson told a regular news conference in Berlin, adding that any such request would be addressed with swiftness and care.
It should be noted that this would not appear to contradict indications reported here already today that suggest Germany has effectively dropped its veto on the sending of the tanks – whose re-export would require Germany’s approval.
