scholz: we are going out of using those supplies.ermany will be the big industrial nation that is economically successful without damaging the environment and will be climate friendly. the industry is investing billions to do this. we are also doing this in an increasing capacity with wind, solar to be used, increasing the capacity. i think the right answer is germany is much in favor of globalization, we don't believe it's right to fault the concept. we have to cooperate with many partners and the right thing to do now is do more together. all of our countries are willing to have not just one supplier, to look for others for many regions and i think there is -- there is a big mistake, the rise of asia is not just happening in china. it's happening in south korea, it happened in japan. it happens in vietnam, indonesia. it happens in malaysia. if we look to the rest of the world, to africa, south america, i really believe we will see is a world with many strong nations and it is necessary to have a supply chain that is not just linked

olaf scholz is being written about in the western media . 14 armata, whose tanks will be the first to arrive in ukraine and how much time does kyiv have to prepare for a new russian offensive, american intelligence has given an assessment that , according to intelligence data, russia is not in the vicinity of the ukrainian cities of soledar and bakhmut has full control over any of these settlements what is happening in the direction of bakhmut, we will add to the broadcast the military that are there well, let's discuss practically a detective story that putin is preparing an attack on kyiv on the morning of february 24, ukrainian intelligence learned from a man named denys kireev who allegedly cooperated with the gur, but 10 days later kireev was killed by sbu employees, this story was told by the american publication the wall street journal , we will try to figure out how this could happen and whether kireev really played a key role role in informing about putin's plans, the russian army, in particular, wagner's mercenaries, after a partial success in soledar, are trying to break th

we want everything to turn into a war between the russian federation and nato, scholz, driven into awashington. germany will hand over the leopards if the united states sends its abrams. the pentagon replied that they will not give their tanks until they are very difficult and expensive to operate. technology, no matter what, this geopolitical ping-pong in ukraine was of little use, it all ended with the fact that germany did not give consent to the supply and export of leopards , at least for now. therefore, the questions remain open, what game is scholz playing and whether the coalition will be able to provide tanks to ukraine without consent more on that about berlin. i think that the scumbag will be squeezed. but he is, judging by all his fluctuations. he is still still afraid of russia. the scam that is going on, as you can see on the surface from russia, is primarily aimed at germany for in order to make this decision impossible, the co-director of programs of the razumkov center, oleksiy melnyk , believes that scholz's accusations are an attempt to delay the moment of the tran

the assistance announced by olaf scholz is historic with a special 100 billion euros defence for 4/5—ircraft, new helicopters, ships, tanks and ammunition. our correspondent in berlin, damien mcguinness, sent us this update. poland's moved to officially request berlin to allow warsaw to send their own german—made battle tanks will further increase the pressure on the german chancellor, olaf scholz, and that's because the german government has to agree to any german—made tanks being re—exported to ukraine according to the export guidelines and rules. the problem is until now, the chancellor and the german government could say we have not received a request so we don't have to make a decision. that request has coming now from poland, so the pressure will be even bigger on olaf scholz to say what he wants to do. the criticism of the german chancellor ec has been unclear, and transparent and not very communicative. a lot of german voters are asking that they don't understand why the german tanks, these leopard ii tanks are so important and why they should be sent to ukraine or shouldn't b

well, it was not a surprise, and members of the coalition put pressure on scholze and within the partyyone was of the same opinion, and the opposition in the form of the christian democrats very harshly abandoned the retarding support of tanks . the only opposition in the person of our party is an alternative for germany. they speak out against the supplies, is there no historical memory, is there no seeding that russian tanks, like soviet ones, will reach the regs once , no one is afraid of this concept, such as historical memory does not figure in the political discourse at all, as we can see, some historical complexes eh predalyny and tanks again go to ukraine, well, this deputy will not even answer this question well , because he is a deputy of the budestag after all, and he cannot politically answer such a fool , but what is interesting is that germany supports supplies to ukraine that is, there was a survey conducted by spiegel, which shows that 54% of respondents support the decision to transfer tanks, 5,440% believe that it is simply unequivocally correct, and only 32% believe

first of all, of course, the united states and olaf scholz himself dealt with these statements in thestressed that the transfer of his combat vehicles would be carried out in close coordination by the allies. this is the result of tense negotiations with our allies and partners , and i want to say rightly that we did not allow this issue to take its course. and that we rely on close cooperation on such an issue and will continue to do so. our goal is to quickly prepare two tank battalions together with our allies. many countries will be happy to implement deliveries, and we will coordinate it germany will supply tanks leopard 2 a6 from the stocks of the bundeswehr. if other countries do this, we will also train ukrainian crews, as well as provide logistics and equipment. not only the opposition, but also the partners ulav and scholz in the government coalition repeatedly, both during the debates and the debates preceding them, repeatedly questioned whether the consequences of such a step for germany itself and for the collective west would be too serious. in the very first question of

well, i wonder what could actually change the opinion of olaf scholze, who resisted this decision forong. it is possible that today the media also reported that there were reports that the united states are considering the possibility of transferring abrams battle tanks to ukraine and also france is thinking of transferring battle tanks to ukraine looks at its partners, although it already looked like germany remained in principle an absolutely solitary and isolated position, and the position of the government was criticized here, even personally, in fact, everyone, representatives of the german government and the opposition, the press and expert circles and international partners , so it was clear that german tanks they will go to ukraine. and why was all this necessary? i 'm sorry, the circus, so that it doesn't spoil the german reputation so much, well, this question will surely be answered by your offsholt, every day more and more people hear the word leopards do not think about a representative of the cat family. and european cities oppose them. european politicians do not hide t

pistorius was surprisingly a decision made by chancellor scholz.nfortunately, he is disappointing as well because he is not acting according to the will of the majority of the population in germany that says more diplomacy for a negotiated peace rather than sending battle tanks. he is now saying, well, we are sending battle tanks in cooperation with our allies. i have to say very frankly, united states has no allies. the united states is just interested in their own interests and just interest in battle. poland and the other countries who were pushing germany and chancellor scholz to say yes to the leopard 2, they're also doing exactly that, what united states wants from them. united states is pushing them into the front and saying, please do this, and then there putting the pressure in creating an atmosphere of pressure to the german government. because of german history. two times. two world wars started from germany with the attacks against russia or respectively soviet union. and now we are sending again tanks against russia, against moscow. an

i think olaf scholz, chancellor 0laf scholz is of a generation of social democrats who were really obsesseder of nuclear war. that recurs again and again in his remarks on this subject. his own party, the social democrats, are divided, whereas his coalition partners, the free democrats and the greens are in favour of sending tanks. germany has a long—standing special relationship with russia and i think in the scholz administration, there is a lot of thinking about how do we preserve the relationship with russia after the war? as well as, by the way, a historic blind spot for ukraine. and finally, i am afraid, i think there is some thinking — and i have had this myself from some senior german officials — that actually a so—called peace settlement in which russia retains some of the territory it has occupied might not be the worst outcome. and i think it is a cocktail of those motives. by the way, i am absolutely persuaded that germany will in the end agree to send the leopards. that is what is so perplexing for so many people about this, is that criticism from within germany itself has even

ben, we just heard from chancellor scholz. president zelenskyy asked specifically for tanks.id he deliver on what zelenskyy was asking for? ben: no, he did not. somebody in the audience asked why hesitate? why wait? and it is germany's partners are also putting the pressure on olaf scholz, the lithuanian and polish presidents in talks. yesterday at polish house, where i was, were desperate to get their message through to germany that these heavy tanks are strategic right now to winning this war and perhaps ending the war and bringing about peace. due to the polish president -- the polish president said it is very needed, this decision. his lithuanian counterpart said it is a strategic factor in this war. we are seeing weapons coming from all parts of the world, but it is these tanks that are so strategic. germany is not allowed to produce them to be stored or stockpiled, according to law, so it is left with this conundrum that it has to call on its partners that it has to supply the tanks it has made, and they are said to be the best the west has to offer. he also does not wa

overseas, the negotiations reached an impasse and here is a compromise that allows scholz to save faceshington seems to give but not now, but in the long term, and germany, respectively, sends leopards, but in the coming months, according to the washington post, such a plan was proposed by us secretary of state anthony b. linkin scholz had to agree, however, washington is seeking to undermine world energy security, says the official representative of our ministry of foreign affairs, maria zakharova , commenting on the statement of us deputy secretary of state victoria nuland during congressional hearings. she said she was very glad that nord stream 2 was a quote from a pile of metal at the bottom of the sea. and here is the answer of the russian department is evidence of the baidan administration's approval of a terrorist attack to destroy civilian infrastructure, and also testified to the presence of washington's motive for filing its world energy security. the united states has already achieved the european union is now dependent on the supply of american liquefied gas. this draws th

george scholz was pretty new at his tenure at london secretary months. for seven so we did not really know the reagans all that well. he'd just gotten back from a long trip overseas that included a stop ins china. and as the dinner progresses the reagans, both of them start peppering him with questions chinese leaders, do they have a bottom line? do they have a sense of humor? what makes them tick? start talking about the soviet union and scholz, away from the hardliners having typical national security council meetings begins to realize something about ronald reagan which is that this man that he's dying to have one. thought about this a lot he's very confident in his own ability as a negotiator. and scholz realized something else this dinner invitation was not a social invitation. that's right going to get them along with the president so he can begin to understand something about her husband. something that really have the potential to change history. also really something else in that moment. is that he, george scholz has found an incredibly valuable

the german chancellor 0laf scholz has decided to send leopard ii tanks to ukraine.now we haven't had any direct comment from the german governmentjust yet, when we hearfrom them the german governmentjust yet, when we hear from them we will pass on immediately. 0ne we hear from them we will pass on immediately. one of the countries at the heart of this has been poland. poland has said it will send the german made battle tanks to ukraine within two weeks, whether or not germany gives its approval. the polish prime minister, speaking to the bbc, had this message for germany. i hope this reply can come as quickly as possible. well, germany played a key role in building up the huge russian offence for this war by buying russian gas, trading with russia big time — and now, special responsibility is on german shoulders, and we do expect their contribution, we expect quick decisions, we expect more openness towards ukrainian needs. so let's take a closer look at germany's role in all this. the leopard ii is operated by about 20 countries worldwide, and it's made in germany.

they say that what scholz does is what scholz does.in fact, he returns that militarism to the practice that hitler had, you know, if you take it like that, then hitler can be in some kind . it is his fault that russian ukrainians and slavs perish, and he plunges the world into a catastrophe, not only he, but he as well. the same thing when you listen to johnson fights and think in general, but this is what we are should lead to victory, no? no. well, god forbid, you understand, if a retired churchill does not look like, if only if it is only churchill , then this is not the one whose churchill we know, otherwise he was churching with his policy in india , why is it that churchill who in the first weeks of the war mocked letters stalin for help, when stalin wrote to him every week, help, help, help i have trouble here, and he sat reading and laughing whether in the end he was smart enough not to get involved in the war, although he really wanted the soviet union. we already know about it. implant the unthinkable, he did not stop himself

in scholz and within the party, there was such a schism already, not everyone was of the same opinion christian democrats, they very harshly abandoned the slow-moving support of tanks. the only opposition in the face of our party is an alternative for germany the left party, they speak out against supplies , is there no historical memory, is there no such thing as russian tanks, how soviet tanks will one day reach the regs? we see some historical complexes and tanks have been overcome again. go to ukraine. well, this deputy did not even answer this question. well, because he is still a deputy of the budestag, and he cannot politically answer such a fool. but what is interesting is that germany supports the supply of tanks to ukraine. that is, there was a survey conducted by spiegel , which indicates that 54% of respondents support the decision to transfer tanks, 5440% believe that this is simply unequivocally correct, and only 32% believe that the delivery is clearly wrong. such an advantage is, well, let's say there, it's still a third of citizens who don't really agree, but that's a

german media are reporting that the chancellor, olaf scholz, has now decided to send fourteen battle weeks of pressure from kyiv and its allies. the reports say other countries, including poland, will also be permitted to re—export the german—built leopard two tanks, to help ukrainian forces fight russia's invasion. earlier, the polish prime minister gave berlin a deadline to approve its request to deploy the tanks. here's our europe editor katya adler. the prospects are looking good. chancellor scholz is in front of the german parliament tomorrow for prime minister's questions, and the talk of the town in berlin, brussels and at eu and nato headquarters and in washington is he's widely expected to say he is now ready to send heavy tanks to german—made, to ukraine. probably about 14 to 15 to start with, i'm told about the same number the uk has pledged. the real significance is not just about germany. about 80% of modern tanks in europe are those german—made leopard 2s, and they own all of the export rights, so this means countries like poland, desperate to send their tanks to ukrain

american f16 scholz by the way , speaking about the provision of tanks, he said that there will be noets, but in the western media , a politician writes that talks have already begun about the provision of fighter jets to ukraine. in your opinion, under what conditions can they be given to western countries, provided that we have great victories on the fronts, on the fronts , that is, they gave us tanks when they saw that we could take the kharkiv region, they took the city of kherson, it is clear that there is a prospect in ukraine, there is a horizon of victory and that's it when there are tanks there will be victory and then western countries will quickly provide us with heavy equipment and even more missiles and aviation thank you mr. ivan ivan stepak the military expert was in touch with us if we talk about the western weapons, the main combat tanks provided to ukraine, the question remains. how much and how have we already talked with our columnist when the united states hands over 31 abrams tanks , they promise to start military training in the near future, but for the united s

let's have some more fresh statements from scholz.t about it, in general, as if you would end up with airplanes. do you want to run out of planes? well, let's get very interesting. will boys and girls be called f-16 in ukraine a beautiful name such a name is f-16. well, secondly, the name of a beautiful girl is not about this, of course, and yes, the second point. completely understandable logic. why give tanks tanks? everyone understands. why? because the soviet ran out no more. come on more they ask the same thing there we will give them 25 e f-16 there. yes. well, you already gave the guys, at least 30 instant-29 pieces were stolen from all over, so to speak. you stole about a hundred helicopters from everywhere, but you can and want to ask a well-known question. e, taras bulba, and your poles helped you, you understand, that is, how much it helped, if now you need f-16 at any cost, because nothing happened with the previous one, but they just kept up, so i am extremely practical about this , that is, uh, that commodity the amount

reporter: olaf scholz allies had fast been losing patience.of european countries own these german produced tanks. but berlin has all of the export rights and countries like poland, desperate to have send help, -- desperate to send help, could not win -- unless germany did. now the soldiers have to be trained how to use them. public pressure at home and abroad also heavily influenced the german prime minister. it is a tricky balancing act. modern and cool, but has another face, city of ghosts, reminders of germany's dark past are everywhere. holocaust memorial day is friday and german politicians should not forget. as the aggressor in both world wars, the idea of gman-made tanks rolling into parts of europe where gman soldiers once committed so many atrocities make many here feel extremely uncomfortable. >> what russia is doing now in ukraine is awful. sending and german tanks, with our history, is terrible. >> i grew up in postwar germany. it was right to think long and hard before sending tanks but now i am glad we are doing it. >> i have a b

well, in fact, we remember these signals that olaf scholz sent, journalists wrote about it about the fact that he talked with joseph biden and said that if, say, washington dares to transfer even some possible , perhaps i can assume that it was about a symbolic number of abrams, if washington agrees to transfer the abrams to kyiv, then berlin will also decide on this step regarding the transfer of leopards mr. grabsky appeared on our broadcast, i have one last question for you . please tell me. and what is the total number of tanks that ukraine can get? i have already declared 12 countries that allegedly are ready to hand over their leopards. we remember that valeriy zaluzhny said that he really needs 300 tanks with all these permits , when everyone will receive everything, how many tanks can ukraine get? well, you know, uh, general zaluzhny talked about tanks and he didn't specify what it should be only leopards or only abrams or only leclercs or only challengers and even according to the results of rammstein, which we already mentioned with you in the eighth meeting, ukraine receiv

actually, mr scholz�*s allies had fast been losing patience.ced tanks. they're stable and reliable. but berlin has all export rights, so countries like poland, desperate to send this powerful help to ukraine, couldn't as long as germany dithered. now kyiv could eventually receive dozens of tanks, though its soldiers first need to be trained how to use them. weary of moscow, chancellor olaf scholz was keen for the us to send some of its mighty abrams tanks to ukraine, too. as if on pre—agreed cue, president biden promised 31 vehicles for kyiv. putin expected europe and the united states to weaken our resolve. he expected our support for ukraine to crumble with time. he was wrong. and he was wrong from the beginning and he continues to be wrong. we are united. washington's announcement and berlin's u—turn are a wish come true for ukraine's president, who turned 45 today. translation: the key now is speed and volume. - we have to form a fist of tank, a fist of freedom which will not allow tyranny to rise again. these soviet—era tanks are on perman

after speaking with the chancellor and scholz on the phone, the american leader also promised to send the kiev regime his marder infantry fighting vehicles and an additional zenith battery on patrio missile systems, and the frg is negotiating with the uk on joint supplies of tanks to ukraine. true , so far there is no specifics only at the level of diplomatic departments. today marks 2 years of capitulation storming by supporters of the previous us president, republican donald trump, they tried to thwart the approval of the results by congress elections in which the democrats of jubaida won after two years of persecution of the participants in those events. almost 1,000 people are already arrested and sent to prison for a long time. and this is assured the fbi is not the limit. germany is trying to figure out the reasons for the mass pogroms that took place in berlin on new year's eve. true, this topic turned out to be very dangerous for discussions in the country. they are trying with all their might not to incite anti-immigrant sentiments from the german capital. ivan blagoy they da

here with the cover, where so on the tank they mock the scholz.teresting. yes, we will provide 15 leopards, 14-15 leopards can be provided to ukraine, yes. uh, regardless of germany, burbock performs yesterday and says. e. well, in fact, we will give the go-ahead, germany does not mind if poland grows, but there was no request from poland, and that's all. all at once to approach the poles. and why didn’t you ask for something, if you are so brave for so long you want? well, in this sense, too, their disassembly, but you know in this regard. this is the policy pursued by scholzberbock, when it seems that they should take into account the opinion of the public. yes despite the fact that ber god said i do not care what the voters think. anyway in ukraine should help and at the same time, you see, they are deprived of any subjectivity in making their own decisions, when they are still being pushed through and absolutely agree to be pushed through. as a result, with the fact that these banks are not provided with tanks, they will not go anywhere, and i

german chancellor olaf scholz says his country will send tanks to ukraine. at the conference of the north in manchester, where they're calling on the government to move away from competitive bidding systems such as the levelling up fund. i'm joined now by north of the tyne mayor, jamie driscoll who's at the convention of in manchester. what message would you like to convey? what message would you like to conve ? . what message would you like to conve ? , ., , ., , convey? the number one thing is as we have seen _ convey? the number one thing is as we have seen from _ convey? the number one thing is as we have seen from the _ convey? the number one thing is as we have seen from the report i convey? the number one thing is as we have seen from the report the i we have seen from the report the investment in the north is shockingly poor and has been for a long time. if we are going to be a successful country that means getting people skills levels up, better transport can generate the wealth we need in our country and the north can be a huge part of that. for hu

that is , finalization does not mean, you know, the story about olaf scholz and german weapons. yes, when every month gullible journalists repeated german press-release statements, yes, but the scumbags continued to hide somewhere in the warehouses of the bundeswehr. everything will happen. look, everything will be fine. it's about defending ukraine. as i said in the expert studio, it's our business, it's the ukrainians' business . ukrainians learn quickly, we need to understand why we need this equipment, because we need to gain an advantage on the battlefield, and russia created almost has 100,000 e-e let's say so, um, the tank brigade, and that is, some armies that are not even of small countries have a smaller number of uh , military, so we understand why we need this equipment and quickly and why it has to happen very quickly, i just met yesterday volodymyr klitschko with the new minister of defense i know that there is constant cooperation, coordination with ours is about the fact that we need to constantly give this help why because if i said at the beginning about those

believe the words of the west for a long time after the unexpected generosity of the french biden and scholzey agreed by phone that armored vehicles would be handed over to ukrainians. true to the treatment of western weapons. you still need to study, according to the american edition of the politician, most likely, for this they will use the american base in germany. where up to 500 ukrainians will be trained at the same time to master the western b. it will take them several months alexander khristenko will continue the torn escalation for the first time and almost simultaneously, france germany and the united states announced the start of deliveries of nato-style shock armored vehicles to ukraine the largest american package we have ever announced military assistance to ukraine in the amount of more than three billion dollars, this is the largest package in history, it contains 70,000 artillery shells and an unnamed amount ammunition for highmors, drones, humby suvs and m113 armored personnel carriers, of which quite a few have already been destroyed in ukraine but for the first time in t

be a very important part of this coalition, and i hope tomorrow, chancellor scholes -- chancellor scholzill announce germany supports the delivery of tanks to ukraine and will take active part in this for us to receive they really needed number of tanks to change the situation on the ground. >> the mayor of kyiv wrote today after meeting germany's economic minister that positive decisions have been made and good news is coming. >> keep fingers crossed. we are looking for tomorrow's announcement. that is very important, to show that we really want to finish this war and we really want to restore international order because we are now in davos, world economy, but without international law, the world looks like a jungle, which will be dangerous for everybody. we desperately need western military help, including heavy armor, so we are waiting for tomorrow's speech of chancellor scholz, and i want to see germany to be a leader where germany can really show that it is the biggest country in europe, the biggest economy, a very important leader, which is moving ahead, and which is moving the wor

olaf scholz said this week that if the americans send their tanks, then germany would follow suit.n the americans have said that they are reluctant to send their tanks because they are not suitable in the terrain. we are talking about huge flat agricultural land. this is the perfect terrain for tanks. there is so little cover. it sounds a bit like an excuse. they sent 3 tanks -- sent 14 tanks, which is adjuster. everyone is pulling their punches. i think tomorrow what we will see is schulz will cave to the pressure but there will be a token gesture that will be sent from poland in order to take the pressure off, to do something more to help the ukrainians. not going far enough, not sending a battalion of 100 tanks that would make a big difference on the battlefield because of the fear of provoking russians to go to the next level, putting one million people into the field and overrunning ukraine and then start taking ammo dumps in poland and extreme reactions. >> coming back to this point about potential russian defeat, especially in light of what the former russian president has s

there is so much frustration in regards to chancellor scholz. there were protests in germany.ll sorts of dialogue within germany about this. time is of the essence. the dashes traditionally more friendly towards russia. i think this is also the closing of an era. with the announcement of the change, some people have described it more as a slalom down a mountain. not so much a turning point as moving around, trying to find the center of gravity. i think this war has lasted longer than anybody in berlin envisioned. as president zelenskyy said, he needs tanks and artillery. he is going to start asking for planes. i do not know if that will happen, but it is important for ukraine to win at this point heard the message is clear that the west is united, despite some kerfuffle. in addition, russia threatening use of nuclear weapons, the west is not kowtowing to that. that sends an important message to beijing that these idle threats of nuclear weapons designed to scare people and make them have an action. there is analysis by scholz -- signaling -- one analyst view, that they are cov

zimmerman, as the site quotes, demanded an explanation from scholz, if you do not want to supply twohe ukrainian army, then you must explain. why the explanation, of course, lies on the surface, as the new york times writes, the real concern is that the world is not ready to see german tanks at the russian border, which would a reminder of the nazi invasion during world war ii, however. this is not the only reason the spiegel magazine found out that the german military is ready to transfer to ukraine only 19 of the oldest leo two tanks that use training to imitate the enemy, the bundeswehr officers themselves speak about this in an even more specific area, in fact, we are expected to have a severe shortage of weapons by 2025 year due to the energy crisis by the plant. it is simply unprofitable to sell weapons at the same prices. and if you raise the cost of maintenance, the department will not pull these purchases. and what kind of delivery of tanks in another country can it be easier to talk about? berlin is now under strong pressure not only from the americans, the head of european

and so the issue now will be for chancellor scholz to get german voters on side.d a substantial chunk of the population that is nervous, understandably, given germany's 20th—century history, of any military aid and also negative escalation. it is something that chancellor sholz is now having to start explaining to voters and start winning the public over now he has politicians on side. hard to explain what is in the mind of chancellor sholz — he never really tells us. he just repeats a certain magic goes behind the scenes, closes the door and gets negotiating and comes out with the result. that's what we've seen here. what he has always said is germany and europe should not go it alone. what he has meant by that is they need american support, ie america needs to send its own tanks in — it could now happen. we could get confirmation from washington that the us is going to send american abrams battle tanks. if that's the case, it could certainly be quite a win for 0laf sholz because it means europe has a certain amount of cover from the us and is less likely to be t

this morning, i had a long conversation with our nato allies, german chancellor scholz, french president macron, and the italian prime minister. to continue our close coordination and our full support of ukraine because you all know i have been saying this for a long time. the expectation on the part of russia is we are going to break up. we are not going to stay united, but we are fully, thoroughly, totally united. with spring akroefpg, ukrainian forces are working to defend the territories they hold and preparing for additional counter offenses. to liberate their land they need to be able to counter russia's evolving tactics and strategy on the battlefield in the very near term. they need to-i-l improve their ability to -- to improve their ability to maneuver in open terrain and deter against russian aggression over the long term. the secretary of state and the secretary of the military behind me are -- they have been deeply, deeply involved in this whole effort. armored capability has been critical. that's why the united states has committed hundreds of armored fighting vehicles to da

maria tractionerman, as the site quotes from scholz's explanations, if you do not want to supply leopard to the ukrainian army, then you must explain why the explanation, of course, lies on the surface, as the new york times writes, the real concern is that the world is not ready to see german tanks at the russian border, which would be a reminder of the nazi invasion during the second world war, we are talking about a heavy tank , heavy weapons that can and should be used for offensive purposes. and we must weigh very carefully when bring him into the process. and i think it is right for germany to do this in europe. this is careful and not hasty or reckless however. this is not the only reason the spiegel magazine found out that the german military is ready to transfer to ukraine only 19 of the oldest leopard-2 tanks, which are used in exercises to imitate the enemy, the bundessier officers themselves speak about this even more specifically, the bundesfera, in fact, we are expected to have a severe shortage weapons from 2025 due to energo zavod it is simply unprofitable to sell weapons

a lot of people also criticize olaf scholz for being reticent.ple assume he is looking at the polls, weighing things up and taking his time, a way of really pacifying people to say that we are not rushing, not doing anything that would exacerbate the situation and to an escalation. the difficulty is, he has not got the country on his side, the government on his side, his coalition do not support that position, and he has not got many people in the social democratic party on his side. it is a hard call within the party to support this position and he has, under flak for being too reticent, so he is really falling between two stones. a lot of criticism here in germany. maryam: given all of thi how likely is it that we see germany agreeing to send those tanks ultimately? >> i think what we heard from the analyst earlier was quite correct. it does seem at the moment, according to experts here, tha germany will eventually be forced to allow the export of the leopard tanks. that is what the fore minister has indicated, what manyembers of the government

the us caught the scholz.the hook of abrams , the chancellor tried to avoid unpleasant associations, hiding behind the americans, they say. so, when they went to their tanks then, and we, as honest allies, scholz knew that the united states did not really want to supply abrams to kiev, but washington suddenly changed its mind. and today i announce that the united states will send ukraine 31 abrams tanks, which corresponds to one ukrainian tank battalion, as an elderly biden , of course, he may suffer from a memory disorder, but as the president of a nuclear power, he must still remember something, at least his own words, said last spring by herself the idea that we will send offensive weapons there, planes, tanks, american crews. look, don't deceive yourself. this is world war iii. even if donald trump does not remember this statement of his political opponent, he thinks. he is in the same direction first tanks, then there will be nuclear bombs to complete this crazy war. now it’s so easy one way or another, t
