Poland said on Jan. 23 that it would deliver Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine as part of a coalition of countries, even without Berlin's approval, for the re-export of the German-made tank as Ukrainian forces staved off fresh waves of Russian attacks in the east, the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty website reports.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, whose country is pushing for allies who have Leopards to send them to Ukraine, said Berlin's agreement is of "secondary importance" as Warsaw is more interested in building a consensus about the issue.
Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania have also made a joint appeal to Germany to step up its leadership and send Leopard tanks to Ukraine, putting further pressure on Berlin to speed up its military aid for Kyiv.
