The Bundeswehr began training Ukrainian soldiers on the Leopard 2 main battle tank.
This was reported by the press secretary of the German Ministry of Defense, Tagesschau reports.
The training will take place mainly at the Panzer School in Münster, Lower Saxony.
The training should be completed by the end of the first quarter, so that the transfer of the tanks is "synchronized" with it.
The federal government promised Ukraine 14 Leopard 2A6.
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 delivery 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.
It will be recalled that on January 25, the German government decided to provide the Ukrainian armed forces with Leopard 2 main battle tanks.
In addition, Germany's Federal Security Council approved the supply of 178 Leopard 1 tanks from industrial stocks to Ukraine.
