War in Ukraine Zelensky adviser resigns for suggesting kyiv shot down Dnipro massacre missile
The
war in Ukraine
has moved to Davos, with Poland and Lithuania putting pressure on their partners in the European Union, and especially Germany.
After 328 days of the
war in Ukraine
, without Russia having yet achieved its goal of
"liberating" Donbas
, its closest allies consider it strategically important that Kiev receive the
Leopard-type armored battle tanks
it claims.
Leopard tanks, originally made in Germany, require permission from Berlin to be re-exported from the rest of the European countries that host them.
Today, in Davos, all attention is on German Chancellor
Olaf Scholz
addressing the leaders taking part in the World Economic Forum.
A forum that will also listen today to Ukrainian President
Volodimir Zelenski
, who is speaking by videoconference.
Germany's response was less cautious by
sending Patriot anti-missile systems
to Ukraine.
The Netherlands has announced that it joins Germany and the United States in providing the air defense system to kyiv.
Moscow is watching for the next moves that will indicate how the
war in Ukraine will escalate.
Kiev closes the Dnipro residential building massacre, for which Moscow is not responsible and which has cost an adviser to President Zelensky his job for suggesting
that the Russian Kh-22 missile had been shot down by Ukraine.
As the debate in the West on the supply of tanks intensifies days before the
important meeting on military support for Kiev at the
Ramstein
airbase
in Germany, President Vladimir Putin today commemorates in Saint Petersburg the 80th anniversary of the uprising of the blockade of Leningrad during
World War II
and visit a company of the defense industry.
