The Time: the supply of tanks to Ukraine caused disputes between the US and Germany

“Berlin privately insisted that Washington provide the tanks first.

But the administration (U.S. President Joe. -

CNN also reported that the issue of supplying Ukraine with Leopard 2 tanks was not resolved during the negotiations between Austin and Pistorius.
