#Leopard2 #Ramstein #Panzer
Why is it so difficult for people to understand, that we WILL deliver tanks, but we won't go forward alone. No, we will not send tanks alone, we will send them in a group. And this group shall include more countries than just a few. We are not blocking or opposing, no we are ready to send Leopards, preparing everything necessary. It'll come down to weeks. We encourage our partners to train soldiers already now. We most probably won't block permits despite not having any requests.

So here we go with all the buzz about #Ramstein, #Abrams, #Leopard2 for #Ukraine. With the Pistorius interview, to sum up. Huge focus on synchronised acting in the round of #Ramstein. Not only by Germany, but by all partners.

Whats the mood around Europe and the US with the upcoming #Ramstein meeting, the #Leopard question, regarding #tanks for #Ukraine? Starting with #France . Le Monde has a good and moderate article about tanks in general for Ukraine, giving a good overview about what was done and what has to be done.

So what's gonna happen today in respect of #Ramstein #FreeTheLeopards: Scholz is gonna deliver Leopard collectively with Poland and Finland. Maybe some of the naysayers are in the boat too. Then the usual suspects - @apmassaro3 @berlin_bridge @IlvesToomas @KyivIndependent @minna_alander - will start their usual smear campaign against Germany and spread the narrative of us being dragged and pressured.

Where will those #Leopard come from? We won't get 100 of them, most probably just three groups from Poland, Finland and Germany for now. That's why we need the USA. #Ukraine️ #FreeTheLeopards #tanks Spain closes the door for #Leopard
