Zelenskiy says Ukraine will still have to fight for supply of modern tanks
Jan 20 (Reuters) – Ukraine will still have to fight to
ensure a supply of modern heavy armor, President Volodymyr
Zelenskiy said on Friday after Western partners failed to agree
on whether to provide German tanks.
A meeting at the Ramstein Air Base broke up without a
decision on whether Germany should send Leopard 2 battle tanks
to Ukraine, or permit other countries which have them to do so.
Zelenskiy said in a video address that the Ramstein
meeting would strengthen Ukraine’s resilience and expressed
confidence allies would support Kyiv as much as possible.
“Yes, we will still have to fight for the delivery of
modern tanks, but every day we make it more obvious that there
is no alternative to taking a decision about tanks,” he said.
