STORY: Now it’s out, Germany is delivering Leopard 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine, initially there should be 14 pieces. These came from Bundeswehr stocks, the government spokesman said on Wednesday. In addition, the traffic light coalition has given other countries, such as Poland, permission to make their own Leopard combat vehicles available to Ukraine. While Russia warned that the delivery of Western main battle tanks would escalate the war, the Western allies, as expected, praised the German decision, for example via Twitter from British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak or from the Latvian Foreign Minister, who with a “Tanke schön” Castle. Opinions on the topic differed in Frankfurt am Main, here is a selection from the spectrum of voices among passers-by. “I think that Ukraine, the people there, have to be helped. We’re doing that here too. But I don’t think that Germany should take part in an incalculable war.” “Yes, that’s a good thing. There was no avoiding it, otherwise the Chancellor would probably have made a fool of himself in front of the whole world, I guess.” “I think it’s bad, because Russia is just as well equipped, it also has better weapons. And with… more soldiers, as the saying goes, pouring oil on the fire, and that will happen worse. You just have to talk to each other.” “I’m torn at first. Sure, with Ukraine, that sucks what the Russians are doing there, but more weapons means more deaths and more, yes, injuries and more misery. And besides, you don’t know how far It works. That’s why I don’t think it’s good.” “I think that’s right, because I believe that you can stop this aggressor with such weapons.” “It’s fueling the war. Weapons don’t make peace, they cause war, of course. And if we take part in it, it’s our own fault. And if at some point the Russians say: ‘Wait a minute, all of them Those who helped Ukraine are our enemies’ – and what happens then? I keep saying, World War III is just around the corner. Bye.”
