The German Army, the Bundeswehr, has begun training Ukrainian soldiers in how to operate the Leopard 2 main battle tank.



This was announced by a spokeswoman of the Ministry of Defence in Berlin, who explained that training would mainly take place at the Armoured Corps Training Centre in the Lower Saxon city of Münster.

It is to be completed by the end of the first quarter so that the handover can also take place in a “synchronised” manner. Germany’s Federal Government has promised Ukraine 14 Leopard 2A6 battle tanks.
