" Now is the time for the Biden and Scholz governments to follow the lead of our U.K. and Eastern European allies – Leopard 2 tanks, ATACMS, and other long-range precision munitions should be approved without delay", the statement states.

The legislators also remind that hesitation in sanctioning Nord Stream 2 or providing U.S.-origin Stingers before the full-scale invasion failed to deter this conflict, the current indecision and self-deterrence will prolong it costing Ukrainian lives.
