Paris — Germany would not stand in the way if Poland sent its German-made Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Sunday in an interview with French television LCI.
Asked what would happen if Poland went ahead and sent its Leopard 2 tanks without German approval, Baerbock said through a translator: “For the moment the question has not been asked, but if we were asked we would not stand in the way”.
