Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said that Poland had sent an official request to Germany for permission to transfer Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

"The Germans have already received our request for consent to transfer Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. I also call on the German side to join the coalition of countries that support Ukraine with Leopard 2 tanks. This is our common cause, because it is about the security of the whole of Europe," he wrote on Twitter.

Earlier, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that the German government would not object if Poland handed over Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

Poland is considering the possibility of forming a coalition to supply tanks to Ukraine without Germany if the country doesn't approve the Leopard 2 supply.
