Hello everyone and welcome to Amunpur. Here's what's coming up.

Kieve needs tanks as Western Allies Bicker.

I get the details from John Kirby on the US National Security Council.

Then we get the view from Europe.

An advisor to the Polish president explains why Warsaw we will send in their German-made tanks

with or without Berlin's consent.

Plus, the volunteers stepping in to help civilians trap near the front lines,

a report from Eastern Ukraine also ahead.

I'm embarrassed to say I actually did think I had fallen into my own romantic comedy.

Finding Love after loss, writer Delia Ephron talks to Walter Iskson about her new book left on 10th. Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Christina Manpur in London.

An unseemly split over tanks risks the ironclad unity, the NATO alliance is demonstrated in support of Ukraine.

Among some allies led by Britain, Poland, Finland and the Baltic nations,

there's a sense of striking while the iron is hot before Russia regroupes for an expected

spring offensive.

And at the heart of the drama is this tank, the German leopard tube, the nimble, flexible leopard with all-round protection requiring low maintenance is top of Ukraine's wish list,

but the German Chancellor is dragging his feet.

More than a dozen countries own those tanks,

like Poland, which says it will send them

to Ukraine, throwing down the gauntlet to Berlin.

We all... the gauntlet to Berlin. We will apply for such consent but this is a

secondary topic even if we did not get this consent in the end as part of a small coalition. If the Germans were not in

this coalition, we will still hand over our tanks together with others to Ukraine.
