Germany’s Finance Minister Olaf Scholz has denounced the “bidding war” over the supply of fighter jets to Ukraine, as the United States faces timeline issues over the delivery of Abrams tanks to the country.

Scholz’s comments come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has pleaded for more potent weapons to be sent to the country in order to help it defend itself against Russian aggression.

The German Chancellor has said that he will not send fighter jets to Ukraine, but has expressed his support for the country and its people.

Meanwhile, the US is facing a tight timeline to deliver the Abrams tanks to Ukraine, as the country needs them urgently to bolster its defenses against Russian forces.

The US has said that it is working with its allies to ensure that the tanks are delivered on time, but it is unclear if they will be able to meet the timeline.

The situation in Ukraine has been escalating in recent weeks, and the delivery of the tanks could be a major step towards helping the country defend itself.

However, with Scholz denouncing the “bidding war” over the jets, it remains to be seen if the tanks will be delivered in time.
