to south africa. and britain s prime minister orders an investigation into how the chairman of the governing conservative party settled a multi million dollar tax dispute. let s start with the war in ukraine. eu foreign ministers have been meeting in brussels amid an ongoing row about whether to send tanks. member countries are putting pressure on germany to provide some of its leopard two tanks, to help fight off russia s invasion. estonia s foreign minister has been at those talks in brussels he s been speaking to the bbc. decisions need to be implemented and the decisions need to be done and there is a moment of leadership which needs to be created. and my strong message is indeed, to all countries, who have weapons and stockpiles to give them immediately without any political caveats or any further considerations or hesitance of the russian s reaction. so let s take a closer look at germany s role in all this. the leopard 2 is operated by about 20 countries worldwide
we would not stand in the way. dr stefanie babst is a long time nato strategist and former nato deputy assistant secretary general let s get her perspective on this. because of international pressure on the german government they have no other options but to green light the permission of the delivery of leopard two tanks so that is my expectation but the principle line of thought behind all of schultz and his friends will not go away. it will not wither. it will remain an uphill struggle to get permission from the germans to really bring in the military aid needed for ukraine s full flesh tanks. they are believed to be more than 2000 libertines worldwide and zelensky said about 300 of those would help ensure a russian defeat.
