Ukraine’s Defeat May Lead to WWIII – Polish PM

Germany and other NATO countries must step up and send Kiev more weapons to avoid a potential Third World War, 🇵🇱 PM Mateusz Morawiecki claimed Monday in Berlin.

Morawiecki insisted that 🇩🇪 must allow the delivery of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine – Poland and Finland have promised Kiev the tanks but need formal German permission to hand them over.

🇩🇪 has about 110 Leopard tanks that it could potentially hand over to Ukraine – 88 of which are the old Leopard 1s – but making them fit for service would cost hundreds of millions of euros and take about a year, arms manufacturer Rheinmetall’s CEO declared.

Taliban Masks Mannequins In Kabul

The Taliban has banned shopkeepers in Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, from using uncovered mannequins to display clothing in shop windows, forcing owners to completely cover them in masks.
