Germany has announced that it will not block Poland from sending tanks to Ukraine in the midst of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. This comes as pressure mounts on Germany to deliver Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, despite the fact that Germany itself does not have any tanks to send.

The German Minister of Foreign Affairs Heiko Maas has said that Germany is not in a position to stop Poland from sending tanks to Ukraine, but also noted that Germany is not sending tanks to Ukraine itself.

This has led to criticism from some that Germany is not doing enough to help Ukraine in its war with Russia, but other commentators argue that it is not that simple.

Germany has come under pressure to provide further assistance to Ukraine, including financial aid and military support. However, Germany has said that it will not get involved in the conflict militarily.

The decision not to block Poland from sending tanks to Ukraine has been welcomed by some, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to help Ukraine in its fight against Russia.
