The foreign ministers of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania on Saturday called on the German government to “immediately” send Leopard tanks to Ukraine to aid the Ukrainian army against the Russian invasion despite Berlin’s detentions.
“We, the foreign ministers of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, call on Germany to immediately send Leopard tanks to Ukraine”wrote Urmas Reinsalu, Edgars Rinkevics and Gabrielius Landsbergis on their social networks.
The decision, they argue, “is necessary to end Russian aggression, help Ukraine and quickly restore peace in Europe.”
The foreign ministers describe Germany as “the most important European power” and emphasize that as such it has “a special responsibility in this regard”.
After the meeting of the 40 allied countries of the Contact Group for Ukraine at the German military base in Ramstein, the German government has still not released the supply of tanks to Ukraine.
The United States and Ukraine asked for another step towards the installation of the Leopard tanks claimed by the Ukrainians.
