German military starts training Ukrainian soldiers on Leopard 2 main battle tank

This was announced by a spokeswoman for the German Ministry of Defense, Tagesschau reports.

In particular, it is known that the training will take place mainly at the Armoured Troops School in Munster, Lower Saxony.

The training should be completed by the end of the first quarter so that the transfer of tanks can be synchronized with it.

The publication adds that the federal government has promised Ukraine 14 Leopard 2A6s. In addition, there are training programs for Ukrainian soldiers that have already begun in Germany on the Marder infantry fighting vehicle.

Defense Minister Boris Pistorius expects that the supply of main battle tanks to Ukraine will significantly strengthen the defense against Russian attackers, as the SPD politician said last Wednesday during a visit to the military in the city of Augustdorf.
