Polish president Andrzej Duda has been putting pressure on Nato allies to support Ukraine with more tanks at the World Economic Forum in Davos. This is the latest attempt by Duda to rally other countries, and particularly Germany, to support Ukraine with heavy armaments.
Duda had already announced that Poland intends to send a company of 14 German-made Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, but needed permission from Germany to re-export them. German vice-chancellor Robert Habeck confirmed it would support such a request. Britain has also agreed to provide 14 Challenger II tanks.
