It comes after Moscow said it had destroyed several Leopards while repelling attempts by Kiev's forces to advance
Ukraine needs significantly more German armor amid intense fighting with Russia, controversial former ambassador to Berlin Andrey Melnik said in an interview published on Sunday. The request comes after Moscow claimed it had destroyed several German-made Leopard tanks while repelling repeated attempts by Kiev to breach Russian lines.
Speaking to Tagesspiegel, Melnik, who now serves as Ukraine's deputy foreign minister, said his country requires much stronger support from the West than it is receiving now.
Demands?
If they didn’t use the equipment up as foolishly as a drunken sailor, maybe the arms would last a bit longer than a day or two
Ukraine loses 16 US-made armored vehicles
15% of the 109 that Washington has given Kyiv,

The other 85% was sold on the black market to terrorist states, with 10% of the profits laundered and going back to the big guy or graham no doubt.
The globalist elites, the scrap dealers and the Chinese are benefitting from this catastophric meat grinder.

A friendly reminder there are literal gorillas with an IQ above 90
Depending on the source, the Ukes already have lost 10-30% of the western weapons delivered for their offensive.
Assuming they have breached the first reinforced line of Russ defense ( reports vary on this, abandoned farm houses and chicken coops flying the Uke flag do not represent tactical success) ….they are bleeding too much to take on the next line in Russia’s echeloned defense.
This war is simply insane. We give the Ukraine some of our most advanced and expensive front line weapons and they blow through them like Hunter Biden goes through crack and Russian hookers. They don’t know how to use them, they don’t pay for them and they think the supply is unlimited so they could care less.
Biden is about to send them another $2.1 billion
Been hearing the Leopards aren’t performing too well over there.
His demands must be met or else!
It’s a tankless job, but someone has to do it
I agree about the insane part. That being said, they are going to lose armor sent, including newer armor such as the German tanks. Thius is to be expected. Disappointing, yes, but not unrealistic in war and using new to them equipment with limited training time available before needed at front. Much more will be needed to continue this. Much. much more. And likely, foreign troops volunteering for front line duties as well, to the extent they can be enticed or directed to deploy there. We appear to be committed to this and there is likely much much more to happen before that changes meaningfully.

I expect us to get involved eventually. Ukraine can’t defeat Russia, even with the aid they’re getting.
Send ALL Your Tanks Germany! You owe them this—Besides what do you need tanks for? You know Germany will never fight another war—Its a new world beyond war. America will protect you. Send every bullet, gun, Tank, truck, and helmet you have to sacred Ukraine.
German and Russian armor clash in the Ukraine yet again.
"Unternehmen Zitadelle"
Surprising that he wants tanks instead of money. He may already have a buyer for the tanks.
