Danish defense minister confirms country's refusal to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine

Another European country refused to supply Tanks to Ukraine, although she had previously actively advocated sending them to Kyiv. We are talking about Denmark, according to the Danish television channel TV2, citing a statement by the country's Ministry of Defense.

Danish Defense Minister Jakob Elleman-Jensen issued a statement confirming the country's refusal to supply German-made tanks to Kyiv. According to him, Denmark has a total of 44 Leopard 2 tanks, purchased in 2000 from Germany, of which 14 tanks are located on the territory of the Baltic countries as part of the NATO forces contingent, and the remaining 30 "protect" the territory of Denmark. The removal of at least one tank from this number will damage the country's security. In addition, the Danish military needs to train recruits on something. In general, roughly speaking, the Danes will not give tanks, because "they themselves need it."

(...) these tanks are an important element of deterrence, because next to our Baltic allies is a giant neighbor who knows how to attack neighbors (...) we also need to teach the Danish military something - and for this we need equipment

- said the Danish minister.

Earlier, Denmark signed the so-called "Tallinn resolution" on the eve of a meeting of NATO defense ministers at the Ramstein airbase on January 20, within which a new military aid package for Ukraine was agreed. The United Kingdom, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Poland, Denmark, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Slovakia pledged to supply Ukraine with tanks, heavy artillery, air defense systems, infantry fighting vehicles and ammunition. The initiators were Poland and the Baltic states.

It should be noted that on the eve of Belgium refused to supply tanks to Kyiv, saying that it simply does not have them, while Canada managed to allocate only four tanks.

Maybe they will rent it from the 3rd party with the money of the European Union.

It turns out that "friendly help" is not free at all))))))

The German divorce operation was declared a success. In words, everyone demanded that Scholz give the tanks himself and allow others to re-export. But in fact: Belgium and Denmark moved out, Switzerland stated that the tanks were "in storage", Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia did not have tanks, and Canada is ready to give up only 4 vehicles. Now it turns out that Poland is also ready to part only with modernized T-72s, and America will send the Abrams "by August" (it is not clear what year and whether Ukraine will be on the map).
Germany pays again, everyone is free, the divorce is over!

At least someone has brains. Although they are bent, with the "choice" between the master and the slaves. America had to dilute everyone for this opportunity, and especially Germany, let's say they put a few abrams, the main thing for them is to free the market where to supply the equipment from storage after modernization ...

The very case when it is necessary to show, prove that the Russian Federation can increase the production of tanks (in the required quantity, quality). ...
And also aviation, FCS devices (etc., in the required volumes and nomenclature).

Lithuania has nothing more than an opinion in general.

Signing a document and refusing to execute it after 10 days is so European ....

The main thing is to create a precedent, and the rest will follow. They will heat up Germany - in the black from the USA and Britain to Poland and the Baltic states (they will be whisked away the crumbs from the lordly division (theft on the contracts), they are already happy)

How about buying and giving away? Or friendship friendship, and tobacco apart? How everything in geyrop is false and ostentatious.

All limitrophes are in favor of war with Russia, but not on their own, but by others. But noble instigators - "small bug, but smelly!"

Denmark sensed a threat at the level of "To be or not to be.?" The Russians got angry in earnest

[Raccoon Raccoon]

I don’t know who was going to attack Denmark there, but if I were Her Majesty, I would also give the hell out of my expensive tanks to someone. Moreover, there is no return guarantee.

Right now, the owner from overseas will say to give it away, then they will give it away, they will also buy new ones, and maybe from the owner

[Bodipancher]

If there is a serious turning point at the front, then no tanks will reach, everyone will jump off.
