Call on the German government to approve the supply of Leopard tanks to Ukraine

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Save the lives of innocent men, women and children by shortening the war, waged by Russia. Call on the German federal government to approve the delivery of Leopard tanks to Ukraine, and stand united against fascism.
UNICEF reports that since February 2022, 1,148 children have been killed or injured while millions have fled, been uprooted from their homes, separated from their families or put at risk of violence. There is no end in sight. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights reports that there have been 17,362 civilian casualties recorded, as of 12th December 2022. Only by defeating Russia can we bring this nightmare to an end.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The Secretary of State for Defence has already urged Germany to supply their own Leopard tanks and also give permissions for others to do so: https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2023-01-16/debates/41FD78FF-E28C-4887-B1D0-0F53E5F705C1/UkraineUpdate
