Germany's new defence minister Boris Pistorius said on Friday that the country would need agreement from its allies to give the green light for the delivery of German-made Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine to fend off Russia's invasion and that it was "wrong" to suggest they were blocking the decision to send them.

“We are not really hesitating, we are just very carefully balancing all the pros and cons," he said at the news conference at Ramstein Air Base.

Defence ministers from NATO and other countries were meeting in Germany amid warnings that Russia will soon re-energize its almost 11-month-old invasion in Ukraine.
