On the occasion of his first military troop visit to the Altengrabow training ground, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius answers a question from an English-speaking journalist about the delivery of German tanks to Ukraine, saying that they should be sent "at the end of March" this year.
IN THE PRESS – Thursday, January 26: We look at reactions in the US and German press to the news that both countries are pledging to send tanks to help Ukraine. Also, will Russian and Belarusian athletes be able to compete in the 2024 Olympics? Plus, a BBC documentary on PM Narendra Modi’s role in deadly riots in India in 2002 has been banned, creating a major backlash. Finally, Netflix show "Squid Game" is set to become a reality show, but not all has gone as planned in the filming process!
The United States and Germany on Wednesday announced deliveries of top-of-the-line tanks to Ukraine, sweeping aside their longstanding misgivings and signaling a new surge of Western support for an expected counteroffensive against the Russian invasion.

Herbst, Senior Director of the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center and former US Ambassador to Ukraine.
After much pondering and perhaps prevaricating, chancellor Olaf Scholz breaking with a seven-decades old non-aggression policy. How momentous? Did he dither and cave to pressure or did he drive a hard bargain to make sure Berlin did not go out on a limb alone?
