The chancellor explained the refusal of the German government to supply Ukraine with tanks and combat aircraft with the coordination of actions with the allies, within the framework of which, according to him, Germany is responsible for a certain range of weapons.
He stated this in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Ukrinform reports. According to him, Germany can emphasize air defense and artillery (we are talking about Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers, Panzerhaubitze-2000).
Previously, at a meeting in Berlin, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal discussed with Chancellor Olaf Scholz a possibility for Germany to deliver to Ukraine a new range of German heavy armored vehicles, including main battle tanks.
