But we cannot repair these tanks without a contract, because the costs amount to several hundred million euros. Rheinmetall cannot offer preliminary financing to this," Papperger told German media.

GOP Raises Questions About 'Swamp Monster' Robert Hur Overseeing Biden's Classified Memo Drama
US conservative observers have drawn attention to the fact that Hur used to closely work with former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and now-FBI Director Christopher Wray.
While under the latter's watch, the bureau successfully suppressed the Hunter Biden "laptop from hell" story, Rosenstein is known as a staunch advocate of the DoJ/FBI investigation into the alleged collusion between then-President Donald Trump and the Kremlin.
The Trump-Russia probe turned out as a complete fiasco with zero evidence being found to back the allegations. Hur was the Department of Justice's "point person" for overseeing the investigation, as per the US press.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Belarus and Russia's joint flight-tactical exercises scheduled to start on January 16 are defensive in their nature and will involve reconnaissance and counterattack exercises, First Deputy State Secretary of Belarus' Security Council Pavel Muraveiko said on Sunday.

🇷🇺🇹🇷🇺🇦 Ukrainian Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets said on Sunday that Turkey was offering its territory as a base for a humanitarian corridor between Russia and Ukraine, although Ankara and Moscow remain reticent on this issue.
💬 "At the moment that's the plan of the Turkish side: they want to become mediators, they want their channels of communication with the Russian Federation to be used... Civilians or wounded servicemen - we also discussed this as an option - could first return from the Russian Federation to Turkey, after which they would go to Ukraine," Lubinets told Ukrainian broadcaster.
The Ukrainian official stressed that the plan was just a proposal currently on the table.
