Germany has built the tanks and must therefore give permission for other countries to be able to send them to Ukraine.
SVT's European correspondent Christopher Wendick believes that Germany sees the decision as extremely dramatic and you “don't want to be warmongers”, which, on the other hand, Sweden has no problem with acting as.
– In the worst case, it could lead in the direction of a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia, Wendick tells Aktuellt.
Poland, on the other hand, has insinuated that they can send the tanks without German permission, but this is seen as a negotiating tactic to get Germany to move on the arms issue.
