Germany decided to transfer Leopard 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine.

This was reported by the German publication Spiegel.

The federal government has agreed to allow the export of such tanks to other countries that are going to help Ukraine.

Germany's decision was apparently preceded by several days of intensive consultations with allies, "especially in Washington."

It should be noted that Chancellor Scholz has always emphasized that he is ready to supply battle tanks only in cooperation with other countries, in particular the United States.

According to Spiegel, the German Leopard tanks will allegedly go to Ukraine from the warehouses of the Bundeswehr.

In the medium and long term, other battle tanks from industrial warehouses may also be prepared for use.

It will be recalled that it was previously reported that US President Joe Biden is ready to transfer Abrams tanks to Ukraine in order to influence Germany, which has not yet made a decision regarding the possible supply of Leopard 2 tanks to Kyiv.
