Spiegel learned about the "stuck" negotiations between Germany and Poland on tanks

In exchange for the tanks that Poland supplies to Ukraine, Warsaw expects to receive the latest Leopard tanks from Germany, its NATO partner, but Berlin has not yet done so,notes edition

Relations between Germany and Poland have escalated due to protracted negotiations on the supply of weapons to Ukraine, Spiegel writes.

According to the publication, the negotiations of the countries on the exchange of arms "stuck", as Warsaw asked to replace its tanks supplied to Ukraine with the latest German Leopards, but Berlin has not yet done this.

Poland has already transferred almost all of its 240 Russian-made tanks to Ukraine, in connection with which the Polish authorities expect Germany to fill in the gaps with German equipment. However, unlike the Czech Republic, Poland does not want to be content with old German tanks, but demands the supply of modern models for service, including Leopard tanks.

In Berlin, they cannot agree to such a deal, since the Bundestag itself does not have them available, Spiegel notes. German Defense Minister Christina Lambrecht acknowledged at a closed meeting on May 16 that she had little hope left that Berlin could come to an agreement with Warsaw.

“There were promises from the Germans to strengthen our defense capability, unfortunately, none of this was implemented,” said Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Szymon Szynkowski.
