Meeting of “Reimstein-8” – what is known
On January 20, during the meeting of the Contact Group on the Defense of Ukraine, the Western Allies were unable to make a decision on the transfer of Leopard 2 tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is holding back decision-making on this issue, because it is he who must give permission, since Leopard is a German combat vehicle. .
At the same time, the head of the US Ministry of Defense, Lloyd Austin , called on the participants of “Rammstein-8” not to slow down the pace of support for Ukraine. According to him, Moscow is regrouping, recruiting and trying to re-equip its troops.
In turn, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that a significant new package of “combat capabilities” for Ukraine was announced at the Ramstein-8 meeting. At the same time, Austin pointed to the lack of a decision on the transfer of Leopard tanks and American M1 Abrams tanks to Kyiv.
In addition, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the first time addressed the participants of “Ramstein” and urged them not to waste time, but to provide Ukraine with F-16 aircraft and long-range missiles.

I want to come too
Give them hell from me.
An awesome grassroots outpouring of support. 👍🇺🇦💪
With so many countries and people now supporting the idea of sending Leopards to Ukraine, Scholz’s stubbornness makes me very suspicious. Him being a corrupt politician, the German Finanzamt should take a close look at his finances. I think they’ll find lots of very filthy money there, mainly from mafia land.
