Tanks delay underscores divisions among Western allies at Ramstein
At Ramstein Air Base Germany defense leaders failed to reach a consensus on sending German Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. Germany hesitates amid pressure from Kyiv and allies with 15 countries discussing Leopards. U S officials say Abrams isn't the sole path and focus remains on broader aid packages and training. Zelenskiy urged urgent action while Pistorius vowed to decide soon balancing pros and cons. The row comes as Ukraine fights in the east near Bakhmut and Soledar with ongoing heavy casualties.
