Quote: "German weapons, German tanks are vital," the ambassador said.
"We have very little time for discussions. We expect our allies to understand this and do the right thing," he added.
Details: Makeiev noted that further liberation of Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia would be impossible without Leopard tanks.
He made it clear that any further delay would cost more lives of Ukrainians: "German weapons save lives".
"German anti-aircraft systems help us intercept missiles, and German tanks will help us liberate the territories. And there will be fewer atrocities committed by the Russian occupying forces," Oleksii Makeiev is convinced.
Background: Head of the German arms manufacturer claimed that it would not be able to deliver Leopard tanks to Ukraine before 2024, even if the German government decides on their transfer tomorrow.
