The foreign ministers of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have called on Saturday on their social networks for the German government to «immediately» send Leopard tanks to Ukraine to assist the Ukrainian Army against the Russian invasion in the face of the misgivings exhibited by Berlin.
«We, the foreign ministers of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, call on Germany to immediately send Leopard tanks to Ukraine,» Urmas Reinsalu, Edgars Rinkevics and Gabrielius Landsbergis said on their respective accounts.
The decision, they argue, «is necessary to stop Russian aggression, help Ukraine and quickly restore peace in Europe.»
The foreign ministers describe Germany as «the leading European power» and note that, as such, «it has a special responsibility in this regard.»
Following the meeting of the 40 allied countries of the Contact Group for Ukraine at the German military base in Ramstein, the German government has so far not unblocked the supply of battle tanks to Ukraine.
The United States and Ukraine have called for a further step towards the deployment of the Leopard tanks demanded by the Ukrainians.
