Opposition CDU to call on Scholz's government to send tanks, armored personnel carriers to Ukraine - Spiegel

This was reported by the German publication Spiegel.

It is known that the government is urged to "immediately give consent to the export to Ukraine of battle tanks, BMPs, and armored personnel carriers" from industrial warehouses and stocks of the Bundeswehr, and immediately purchase replacements.

In addition, the parties call on the government to organize training for the Ukrainian military with Bundeswehr instructors as soon as possible, so that they start mastering new weapons.

"As the most economically powerful state, Germany should take on the responsibility of the leader and transfer heavy weapons to Ukraine, including from the Bundeswehr stockpile, and conduct the necessary training... The supposed consensus that Western heavy weapons systems should not be supplied to Ukraine no longer exists. This is the only way to achieve a long-lasting and sustainable peace in Europe," party leaders Friedrich Merz and Alexander Dobrindt said.
