“We need German tanks right now,” Makeev is quoted by TASS.
He added that there was no time for reflection and hesitation, so the tanks needed to be deployed "immediately."
Earlier, the Kommersant newspaper reported that Germany's allies had not yet convinced the country's leadership to allow the supply of Leopard tanks to Kyiv.
The material refers to German media reports that the Chancellor intends to rely on public opinion in Germany on key issues, including the supply of tanks.
