Are afraid to get involved in the war: Olaf Scholtz's party does not want to send the Armed Forces German tanks

The Secretary -General of the SPPN claims that no country has yet sent Western tanks to Ukraine. The supply of heavy weapons, he said, encourages Russia to attack other countries. The German Chancellor Party Olaf Scholtz opposed the supply of German tanks to Ukraine. The Secretary General of the Governmental Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) Kevin Cunner said this on the German TV channel RTL. Western tanks, he said, did not supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Armed Forces).

Germany supports annular exchange of military equipment with Eastern European partners, Kunner said. He referred to the process of transferring German weapons to Eastern European partners from NATO instead of the technique of Soviet model transferred to Ukraine. "We do not want us to be gradually drawn into the war. We do not want to induce Russia to act absolutely irrationally and attack other states," said the Secretary of the SPD.

The Die Zeit newspaper writes that the chairman of the Bundestag Committee on Marie-Agnes Strak-Zimmerman considers the direct supply of tanks as a reasonable idea. The deputy says that such a step will not make Germany a participant in the war. According to her, Leopard tanks will not be commanded by Germans, but Ukrainian soldiers. "There are no NATO members on the territory of Ukraine, it is about equipment, not people who manage it," Strak-Mmerman said.

The Russian ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev stated that Germany allegedly crossed the red border with the beginning of the supply of lethal weapons. "The very fact of supplying lethal weapons of German production, which is used not only against Russian servicemen but also against the civilian population of Donbass, is a red boundary that the German authorities have not had to cross," the diplomat said.

Berlin, sending the weapon of Kiev, chose "the way to nowhere delaying the conflict and increases the victim", confident Nechayev. The US, according to Protect Ukraine Now, is one of the leaders of heavy weapons supply to the Ukrainian army. By September 11, the states provided 146 non -self -propelled artillery guns, 16 HIMARS and 490 armored vehicles. The Armed Forces tanks were supplied by Canada, the United Kingdom and Poland (a total of 280 pieces).

These countries have sent more than 200 units of self -propelled artillery, 18 combat aircraft and almost 900 armored vehicles. We will remind that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany Annalen Berb said that her country will supply Kiev weapons, financial and humanitarian aid. The German Defense Ministry stated the marginal capabilities of supplying weapons to Ukraine from the Bundeswehr stocks.
