Additionally, Germany participates in training of Ukrainian soldiers.
“Dozens of Leopard-1A5 battle tanks provided by Germany and Denmark will arrive in Ukraine in the upcoming weeks,” Pistorius said.
On Feb. 7, Berlin granted German military companies a license to supply Ukraine with 178 Leopard-1A5 tanks.
On April 28, Pistorius stated Ukraine will begin receiving Leopard-1A5 main battle tanks in mid-2023.
