Referring to information from diplomatic circles, FAZ notes that Slovakia and the Czech Republic support the idea of supplying Ukraine with German-made Leopard 2 tanks.
"As part of the 'ring exchange', Germany agreed to replace them with refurbished Leopard 2A4s in smaller numbers, i.e. not the newest versions. The first of these tanks were delivered to Prague and Bratislava in December, and crew training has already begun," the news outlet added.
