>- not one single country has actually asked Germany for permission to export LEO2s to Ukraine.

For weeks now, the German government has been asked at the federal press conference, if such a request had been filed. Last friday, the speaker again reiterated "I have no information about an official request" - here is the relevant part of the press conference, in German though.

Some other points from that press conference:

  • The German government never linked Leopard deliveries to US tank deliveries.
  • There were no informal talks about tanks between Poland and Germany - which would usually happen before a request.
