EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell:

A political decision to supply tanks to Ukraine has not yet been made mainly because of the position of Germany.

Iran wants to recognize the armies of the EU countries as terrorist organizations and add them to the list of extremist structures in response to the inclusion of the IRGC in the list of terrorist organizations of the EU.

Commander of the Ukrainian Joint Forces Serhiy Nayev:

Ukraine is creating new military formations to equip them with NATO weapons.

Training of the Ukrainian crews on German-made Leopard 2 tanks in Poland to begin in a few days.

Polish PM Morawiecki:

Germany's attitude is unacceptable. Innocent people die every day.

What else does Germany need to open its eyes and start acting up to the potential of the German state?

They don't even have to activate 100% of their resources. 30% is enough.

Polish PM Morawiecki:

Germany is a powerful country in terms of its economy and military strength. I try to weigh my words, but I will say it bluntly.

Ukraine and Europe will win this war - with or without Germany.

Polish PM Morawiecki:

We will not passively watch as Ukraine bleeds out.

Sending Leopards to Ukraine is a matter of Polish and European raison d'état.

We will not let Russia capture Kyiv and then set Europe on fire.

I hope that the Germans will understand this sooner rather than later.

Swiss Neue Zürcher Zeitung newspaper:

The Americans are just waiting for the Europeans to give their Leopard 2 to the Ukraine.

Because then they can offer their own tanks as a replacement.

Swiss Neue Zürcher Zeitung newspaper:

In the background, German industry sources claim U.S. offer used tanks from their own stock as a replacement and a long-term industrial partnership to any country that could supply Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

Any country that responds to the American offer is lost to the German tank industry.

And with every country that loses German industry, Berlin's political influence on its allies in NATO and the EU dwindles.

Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung:

U.S. Defence Secretary Austin said to have gotten into a heated argument with German Federal Minister for Special Affairs Wolfgang Schmidt during his visit to Berlin.

The encounter was "tense".

Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung:

The White House intervened in the German Chancellery with unusual sharpness.

Sullivan read out the 'Riot Act'.

Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung:

The Anglo-Saxon phrase refers to an English law from 1715 in which King George I threatened “insurgents” with the death penalty.

In diplomatic language, the term is now used for a particularly harsh confrontation.
