Germany and Poland are close to concluding an agreement to establish a service center for the repair of Leopard battle tanks and other Western vehicles used by Ukraine.
About it in an interview Bloomberg German Ambassador to Poland Thomas Bagger said “European Truth”.
According to the diplomat, negotiations on the creation of a service center in Poland should be completed “in the coming days”, before the NATO summit in Vilnius on July 11-12.
According to him, the center will be used to supply Ukraine with urgently needed spare parts for German-made equipment. Similar service centers have also been established in Slovakia and Romania.
They will play an important role, because Ukraine began to use Western equipment for the already launched counter-offensive and suffered the first losses.
At least four Leopard 2 tanks and 16 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed or damaged, according to the Oryx service, which analyzes data on equipment from open sources.
In May, it was reported that the Polish arms concern Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ) completes negotiations with manufacturers of tanks Leopard 2 for the implementation in Poland of overhaul of equipment transferred to Ukraine.
“Tank Coalition” agreed to establish in Poland Leopard 2 maintenance center from Ukraine on April 21, on the sidelines of the meeting in the Rammstein format.
