The foreign ministers of Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania have issued a joint appeal to Germany, asking it "to provide Leopard tanks to Ukraine now" as pressure mounts on Berlin from Kyiv and some NATO allies eager to provide modern battle tanks to help Ukraine beat back a nearly 11-month-old invasion. Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics tweeted the appeal on behalf of all three Baltic states, citing Germany's "special responsibility" and saying the tanks are needed "to stop Russian aggression, help Ukraine and restore peace in Europe quickly."
