Ukrainian military exercises on the Leopard 2 will soon begin in Germany. Berlin wants to assemble two tank battalions from these tanks for Ukraine as soon as possible. This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the press service of the German government on January 25.

"Our goal is to quickly assemble two tank battalions for Ukraine with Leopard 2 tanks. As a first step, Germany is transferring 14 Leopard 2 A6 tanks from the Bundeswehr. Other European partners will also transfer Leopard-2 tanks. Training of Ukrainian crews should begin in Germany in the near future", - the statement said.

In addition to the exercises, the assistance package will also include logistics, provision of ammunition and systems maintenance.
