But, since the tanks are German-made, it needs Berlin’s approval, which Chancellor Olaf Scholz has yet to provide.“Consent is a secondary issue here,” Morawiecki told Poland’s public radio broadcaster whilst returning from Davos, where he was attending the World Economic Forum.Last week, Polish President Andrzej Duda said his country would hand over “a company of Leopard tanks” to Ukraine “as part of international coalition building.” Finnish President Sauli Niinistö then said his country also provide a limited number of tanks “since Finland borders on Russia and is not part of NATO.”Until now, the German government has not budged.“We are never doing something just by ourselves, but together with others, especially the United States, which are very important in this common task to defend Ukrainian independence and sovereignty,” he added.Ukraine has been pressing its Western allies to deliver armoured tanks in the past few weeks, saying it needs hundreds to launch a major counter-offensive against Russia in the spring."
