BBG-Germany To Approve Poland Sending Tanks To Ukraine Soon As 25 Jan

SECURITY

Bloomberg is reportingthat "Germany is expected to give Poland approval as soon as Wednesday to re-export its German-made Leopard tanks to Ukraine, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the decision is private."

  • The story comes shortly after news broke that Poland had submitted an official request to the German gov't to send some of its German-made Leopard 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine.
  • WSJ and Reuters also reporting that the US is on the verge of sending some of its M1 Abrams main battle tanks to Ukraine as well. The provision of both Abrams and Leopards could make a sizeable difference to the Ukrainian war effort, allowing its forces to advance quickly in re-taking territory from Russian troops, and crucially holding onto this territory.
