We are acting in a closely coordinated manner internationally.”

The goal is to establish two battalions with Leopard 2 tanks for Ukraine quickly, the statement said, adding Germany would first step in and provide 14 Leopard 2 tanks from military stocks.

Training of Ukrainian troops in Germany will begin soon, and Germany will also provide logistics and ammunition.

Poland’s prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki in a tweet expressed gratitude to the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for his decision to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

“The decision to send Leopards to Ukraine is a big step towards stopping Russia.”
