In addition, the EU and NATO are again calling on Russia to end the war.
Debate about further tank deliveries
Western states are also discussing supplying main battle tanks to Ukraine. Poland is considering giving the country "a few or a dozen" Leopard tanks. The National Security Council is also discussing this issue with President Andrzej Duda. But the NATO country will not do anything alone, said Duda's security adviser Paweł Jablonski. However, Poland could be part of a broad coalition of countries supplying modern battle tanks to Ukraine.
This could also include Great Britain. According to a report by Sky News, the country is considering the delivery of up to ten Challenger 2 main battle tanks. As Der Spiegel reports, Great Britain has already "non-bindingly announced" a possible Challenger 2 delivery among western Ukraine supporters.
