15 countries have the #Leopard2 and have #Germany's approval for #Ukraine to be the end-user. #Berlin has not agreed to send its tanks until today.

The #US won't send its tank M1 A2 Abrams for fear of seeing it destroyed, thus damaging the US selling of the tank.
#Russia has anti-tank missiles capable of destroying the US (and the #German) tank, and #Ukraine is the "market" where countries r selling their weapons worldwide.

The #US prefer to see the #European industry absorbing the consequences as long as #Europe, like #Ukraine, is ready to please #Washington.
Correction: German Defdence Minister Boris Pistorius
I remember #Germany saying it won't join the sanctions on the Russian gas at the beginning of the war but submitted a few weeks later. The same will happen with the Leopard-2 tanks. They will be delivered to #Ukraine to prepare for the Spring offensive and kill more Ukrainians.
