Germany has previously hesitated about sending heavy offensive weapons, but after heavy pressure from several countries, the country has now decided to send the Leopard 2 tank to Ukraine.
- The decision has been very difficult, the most difficult that Olaf Scholz has made, says SVT's European correspondent Christoffer Wendick.
