Ukraine welcomes German decision on tanks as 'first step'

Kyiv welcomes Germany’s decision to greenlight Leopard 2 tank deliveries to Ukraine, following weeks of pressure from allies.

“The first step on tanks has been taken. Next — the ‘tank coalition.’ We need a lot of Leopards,” the head of Ukraine’s presidential administration Andriy Yermak says on social media, referring to other countries that have said they would also send the tanks with Berlin’s approval.
