In Germany, they were worried about the possible appearance of German tanks on Russian territory. The country did not supply them to Kyiv for this very reason, Spiegel magazine said, citing sources in the German government.
Sources in the German Cabinet said that the authorities have a fear that the Ukrainian leadership will start using German equipment to attempt to invade Russian territory. This decision will remind you of the actions of Nazi Germany during the Great Patriotic War (WWII). “This will mean that German tanks will again be on the territory of Russia,” the article emphasizes.
“This fear demonstrates a certain distrust in Berlin towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. And this was also the reason why the German defense industry did not receive permission to supply battle tanks, ”Spiegel’s informants explained.
