German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on Tuesday that allies could begin training Ukrainian forces in the use of Leopard tanks, although a decision from Berlin on whether to allow the delivery of the weaponry to Kyiv is still awaited.
“I particularly encourage partner countries that have Leopard tanks ready for deployment to train Ukrainian forces with these tanks,” Pistorius said.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg welcomed Pistorius’ “clear message” “because after the decision to supply battle tanks, it will take some time to identify them, prepare them and train Ukrainian soldiers to use them”.
