[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The German-made "Leopard 2" tank is considered to be one of the key weapons to repel the Russian invasion.

However, under constant pressure from Western allies, Germany still did not agree to assist the Ukrainian military tanks, which also made it difficult for the owning countries that were ready to export Leopard 2 to Ukraine.

"BBC" reported that military representatives from 54 countries gathered at the Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany on Friday local time to coordinate efforts to strengthen assistance to Ukraine.

During the meeting, the countries agreed to support more armored vehicles and air defense systems to Ukraine, but Germany has not yet decided whether to provide military support for the Leopard 2.

Poland, already ready to offer the Leopard 2, was impatient with Germany's hesitation.

Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau criticized in a post on social media: "The blood shed by the Ukrainians is real. This is the price to be paid for hesitating to deliver Leopard tanks. We must act now. "

The report pointed out that Leopard 2 is easy to maintain and is specially designed to target the T-90 tank used by Russia to invade Ukraine. Naturally, it is a weapon that Ukraine desperately wants to obtain.

There are currently more than 2,000 Leopard 2s in the world.

Ukrainian President Zelensky believes that only 300 vehicles are needed to ensure the defeat of the Russian army.

However, due to Germany's export regulations, as long as the Berlin government does not nod, countries such as Poland and Finland that own Leopard 2 cannot export it on their own.

During a meeting at the Ramstein base, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin denied that Germany would wait until the U.S. exported its main force, the M1 Abrams, before following up.

He also expressed relief for Germany, emphasizing that Germany is a reliable ally.
