Germany will find itself internationally isolated if it continues to refuse to transfer Leopard tanks to Ukraine

Poland's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arkadiusz Mularczyk, stated this, PAP reports.

"Germany, by not agreeing to send tanks, falls into certain international isolation and their position will be very weak if they continue to take this position," a diplomat said.

He noted that Germany's position contradicts principles of international law, territorial integrity, the sovereignty of countries, rule of law and human rights.

• Earlier, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that Warsaw allows the creation of a coalition with countries that are ready to give Ukraine part of their Leopard 2, without the participation of Germany, if Berlin does not agree to provide Ukraine with these tanks.

• During the eighth meeting of the Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine in Ramstein on January 20, ministers did not agree on the provision of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

• German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier supported Chancellor Olaf Scholz's cautious approach to the provision of tanks to Ukraine, explaining that this could exacerbate conflict.
