LISBON (Reuters) - Germany and other countries supporting Ukraine in its efforts to fend off Russia's invasion have to decide individually on whether to supply it with tanks, the head of NATO's Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, said on Friday.

Earlier on Friday, a meeting of western allies at Germany's Ramstein Air Base failed to reach a decision on delivering German-made Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, but Poland's defence minister said he remained optimistic that efforts to provide them would end in success.
