This comes against a backdrop of pressure German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been facing with regard to demands to send tanks and more arms to Ukraine.

Scholz has repeatedly said that Germany will act with its allies rather than perform such a decision on its own. 

On Friday, a report by The Wall Street Journal revealed that Europe, which is home to some of the largest armament producers in the world, is straining to provide enough ammunition for Ukraine and for itself, endangering NATO's ability to defend itself and its support for Kiev.

The report added that production capacity issues, a shortage of specialized people, supply-chain bottlenecks, high finance costs, and even environmental rules are impeding efforts to enhance output, posing a new challenge for the West and Ukraine in 2019.

NATO's European members are rushing to strengthen their own defenses in view of the “mounting threat presented by Moscow, and the attrition war raging between Russia and Ukraine is now evolving into a rearmament race between Moscow and Brussels," the same report added.
