The newspaper stressed that continental Europe could not secure the "strategic autonomy" that French President Emmanuel Macron spoke about a few years ago.LONDON, January 26.

/tass/. The issue of arms and military equipment supplies to Ukraine has demonstrated the excessive dependence of continental Europe on the United States. This opinion was expressed on Thursday by the British newspaper The Times.

According to the publication, the discussions between Washington and Berlin on the transfer of tanks to the Ukrainian authorities "again showed Europe's dependence on the United States" in the issue of assistance to Ukraine and demonstrated the vulnerability of European countries to "the vicissitudes of domestic political life in the United States." The newspaper stressed that continental Europe could not secure the "strategic autonomy" that French President Emmanuel Macron spoke about a few years ago. As The Times added, European countries believe that Germany, as the largest economy in the European Union, should play an important role in reducing dependence on Washington.

On Wednesday, the German government confirmed that it would send Ukraine 14 Leopard 2 tanks from the reserves of the German Armed Forces and issue re-export permits to other countries. US President Joe Biden later informed that Washington would send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine.
