NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg welcomes the announcement of new arms deliveries to Ukraine. In addition, on the fringes of the Ukraine conference at the US air base in Ramstein, he made it clear that that he expects further developments in the debate about the possible delivery of German Leopard 2 tanks.
The fact that hundreds of new armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles and battle tanks are now being made available to Ukraine will make a huge difference for the country, Stoltenberg told journalists. The support will not only enable Ukrainians to defend themselves against new Russian offensives, but also enable them to launch their own offensives to retake territory.
On the question of whether Germany is harming European unity because it has not yet delivered any Leopard 2 tanks, Stoltenberg said: “The deliberations will continue.” Since the beginning of the war, the type of support has been constantly evolving. The Norwegian also emphasizes that Germany is one of the allies that supports Ukraine the most.
