In response to the German government's postponement of the decision on the provision of German tanks, which was the focus of military assistance to Ukraine, Ukraine and European countries are calling for the earliest possible provision.
On the other hand, the Russian side has criticized these moves, and it is expected that the countries concerned will continue to bargain intensively over the support of tanks.
On the 20th, the German government postponed the decision on whether to provide the German-made tank "Leopard 2", which was the focus of Ukraine's request for military support to Ukraine, which Russia continues to invade.
In response, on the 21st, Ukrainian presidential adviser Podoljak posted on Twitter that "indecision leads to the murder of more people," urging the Ukrainian government to provide tanks as soon as possible.
Also, on the 21st, the foreign ministers of the three Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania posted the same content on Twitter at about the same time, saying, "Stop Russian aggression, support Ukraine, and quickly return to Europe." It is necessary to restore peace," and asked Germany to provide it.
In response, Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticized on the 20th that military support from the West to Ukraine would lead to further escalation of tensions. It will not bring any change in the way we do things.”
On the 20th, the American think tank "War Research Institute" said, "The Kremlin is trying to undermine the Western side's willingness to provide military support by bringing up escalating tensions." It shows the view that information warfare will be set up, and it seems that the bargaining of the countries concerned will intensify.
