After many discussions and pressures throughout the week, Germany will end up sending its Leopard 2 tanks to the Ukrainian army, but not only because other European countries have already announced that they will ship their tanks and EE.UU. They will also ship Abrams tanks, as military sources have explained to the media The Wall Street Journal.
Thus, the German government will send war tanks to Ukraine under the umbrella of a wider European and US operation. The news has been filtered by Der Spiegel and, apparently, on Wednesday Chancellor Scholz will issue his prognosis when answering the most common questions in the Bundestage.
Other NATO and EU member countries have been pressing Germany for days to send Leopard 2 tanks in Donbass to combat the Russians. Poland officially requested Germany on Tuesday to deposit the tanks of that brand at its disposal, for which it needs the approval of the producer. In addition to Poland, other states have Leopard 2 and have announced their intention to send them to Ukraine in case of authorisation.
In particular, Germany announced earlier this week its authorisation. He will now announce that he will also send those he has in his arsenal.
Significant provocation
According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), the Ukrainian army would need at least one hundred Leopard 2 tanks to operate with tanks on the Donbass War Front, a figure that could be reached if eight countries surrender them.
Anatoli Antonov, Russia’s ambassador to EE.UU, pointed out through Telegram that this is a “notorious provocation” in the US. The United States has been refusing to send arms of this weight for months, but now they say they are going to radically change their minds and send Abrans tanks.
This decision has had a great influence on the German Government, according to La Vanguardia, and will now arrive in Ukraine with a certain image of unity the tanks, a escalation of war and a gift that can bring "unpredictable consequences".

The last elections have sent us a clear message. We Europeans do not want wars. Ukraine has to end and the politicians have to take steps in this direction as soon as possible. In France and Germany, the far-right has been loosely imposed and the reason is in the war in Ukraine:... [+]
Drones have become real stars of the war in Ukraine, but not so much in the traditional battlefield, but in a field that also corresponds to war, but which is very different: war propaganda. Moscow and Kiev use the videos recorded by unmanned aircraft to feed their information... [+]
