Germany has decided to increase the number of Leopard2 A6 tanks for Ukraine, the Defence Ministry has said on Twitter.
"Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has decided to transfer four more Leopard2 A6 main battle tanks from the Bundeswehr warehouses to Ukraine. This increases the number of tanks delivered from 14 to 18," the ministry said.
Thus, together with Portugal and Sweden, Germany will be able to assemble one battalion for Ukraine.
