The foreign ministers of the three Baltic countries asked Berlin to deliver Leopard tanks to Kyiv a day after Germany refused to do so at a meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine, dpa reports.
“We, the foreign ministers of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, ask Germany to immediately supply Ukraine with Leopard tanks. This is necessary to stop Russian aggression, help Ukraine and quickly restore peace in Europe,” Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevičs wrote on Twitter, quoted by AFP and Agepres.
“Germany, as a leading European state, bears a special responsibility in this regard,” he added.
During a meeting on Friday at the US Ramstein Air Base in Germany, Ukraine’s allies announced important new arms deliveries to Kyiv, but did not reach an agreement on the delivery of heavy battle tanks.
And despite considerable pressure from Ukraine and allied countries, the German government has still not made a decision on the delivery of Leopard 2 battle tanks to Kyiv.
