The United States and Germany have been in a standoff for months over the decision to send tanks to Ukraine. The country has been in a state of conflict for years and is now “paying in lives” as the debate drags on, according to Reuters.

The United States has been pushing for Germany to send its Leopard 2 tanks, while Germany has been reluctant to do so. The German Defence Minister has recently said that there is no need for both countries to send tanks simultaneously.

However, opinion pieces in The Globe and Mail have argued that Germany has a “heavy responsibility” to send its tanks, as the situation in Ukraine is worsening. DW News has also asked why Germany has still not decided on the tank supplies, despite the urgency of the situation.

The standoff between the United States and Germany is ongoing, with both countries yet to come to an agreement. With Ukraine’s situation becoming increasingly dire, it is clear that a decision must be made soon.
