Eighteen German vehicles handed over at border to bolster military supplies from Britain and EU countries
Germany’s much-awaited shipment of 18 Leopard 2 battle tanks has arrived in Ukraine, the German defence ministry has confirmed.
After months of prevaricating, the Germany government announced in late January it would provide Kyiv with the state-of-the-art fighting vehicles, as part of a deal under which several EU states would contribute to a shipment of two Leopard 2 battalions and 31 American-made M1A2 Abrams tanks from the US.
