Germany is facing pressure from its allies and Russia as it decides whether to send tanks to Ukraine. Russian officials have warned that any allies of Ukraine who send tanks to the country risk their own destruction.

The news comes as Germany has been hesitant to make a decision on whether or not to send tanks to Ukraine, a move that has angered its allies. Poland recently announced that it could send German-made Leopard tanks to Ukraine, but the German government is yet to make a decision.

Meanwhile, Russia has warned that Ukraine will pay if Germany sends it tanks. This has raised the stakes for Germany, who must make a decision that will not only affect Ukraine, but also its allies and Russia.

The situation in Ukraine has been escalating ever since the conflict began in 2014, and the decision Germany makes now could have a lasting effect on the region. Newsweek has reported on Germany’s hesitation on tanks, as well as the battle between its allies and Russia, and has offered opinion on the matter.

No matter what Germany decides, the decision could have a major impact on the future of Ukraine and the region.
