Marcus Faber, the head of the German Bundestag’s defence committee, has said that the Ukrainian offensive in Russia’s Kursk Oblast is going better than expected, which raises the issue of increasing the number of German-produced Leopard 2 tanks for the Ukrainian defence forces.

Quote: “The Ukrainian offensive against the occupation forces near Kursk is going better than expected. This forces the aggressor to withdraw a significant number of troops from the front in the east. This eases tensions there.”

Details: Faber added that this is a reason to discuss providing more German-produced Leopard 2 tanks to the Ukrainian defence forces.

In addition, Faber believes that the progress of Ukrainians near Kursk demonstrates to the Russian population that “their dictator has no control over anything” and the military leadership is “overwhelmed” by this.

Quote: “This is a good basis for peace talks with Putin’s successor. And for negotiations with Putin before the International Criminal Court.”

Background:

  • Faber stated that he did not consider the possible use of German weapons in the fighting in Russia’s Kursk Oblast a problem.
  • In addition, Faber believes that the offensive of Ukrainian forces in Russia’s Kursk Oblast is legitimate and could persuade the Kremlin to end the war against Ukraine.
