NATO leaders discuss Ukraine tank requests: "Very carefully balancing all the pros and cons"

With the war in Ukraine nearing the 11-month mark, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies remain steadfast in supporting the country's pushback against Russian aggression, which resulted in more attacks Friday.

But, when it comes to what kind of weapons the bloc intends to ship, cracks have started to form in the alliance.

Western defence leaders meeting at Ramstein Air Base in Germany have failed to resolve divisions over possibly providing battle tanks and other military aid to Ukraine. The tank debate roiling the coalition was not resolved in a long meeting Friday, but Germany’s new defence minister suggested the issue was inching forward.

"We are not really hesitating, we are just very carefully balancing all the pros and cons," German Defence Secretary Boris Pistorius said.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told the group that this is a crucial moment in the war as Russia regroups and re-equips.
