A year after the invasion of Russia the former boxing champion heavyweight Wladimir Klitschko tests the Leopard tanks that Germany provided to Ukraine. This is reported by the Reuters agency.
Videos released today (February 25) show how Vitali Klitschko’s brothermayor of Kyiv, operates the tank at an undisclosed and unspecified location.
