Ukraine has ‘frank’ talks with Germany as it pushes for tanks

Ukraine's defence minister has said he had a "frank discussion" with his German counterpart about Germany’s Leopard 2 tanks, which Kyiv is urgently requesting to confront Russian armour.

Germany has not yet decided whether to send the tanks to Ukraine, or allow other countries to donate theirs, despite pressure on Berlin to act.

"We had a frank discussion on Leopards 2. To be continued," Oleksii Reznikov said after meeting Western allies.

Kyiv is to get many other Nato weapons.
