They were occupied by the Red Army and for good reasons, and then had to rebuild their culture and mentality which Russians had a part in. So it is probably very psychologically hard to send tanks that will fight against them. It's almost like encountering the old daemon that they had with Russia.
The problem I see is not them not sending tanks themselves, it's them not permitting customer-states who own Leo IIs as well from sending their own.
Also, forgot to mention that the Brits are sending a squadron of Challenger II tanks, which is a fine piece of kit as well, although the oddball ammo (2-pc) will introduce yet another factor into Ukrainian logistics. It's a good move and I should hope it prompts America and Germany to get off'n their duffs.
