DAVOS, Switzerland - Germany’s allies on Tuesday ramped up the pressure on Chancellor Olaf Scholz to allow the supply of German-made Leopard tanks to Ukraine ahead of a crunch defence ministers meeting on Friday.

A day before Mr Scholz heads to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, some of Ukraine’s closest allies sought to pressure him into changing his mind. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda said he “strongly believes” Germany would provide Ukraine, which is fighting a Russian invasion, with Leopard tanks.

Two sources told Reuters Social Democrat interior minister of the state of Lower Saxony Boris Pistorius would be appointed.
