 Since the new year, Western countries have pledged hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles to Ukraine to give it the firepower and mobility to push through Russian lines and recapture territory later this year. Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands said their Leopard 1 initiative was open to further partners, adding Belgium had shown initial interest to participate. Earlier, the head of German arms maker Rainmetal said it would send Ukraine 20-25 Leopards this year, with the rest of the 88 Leopard 1 tanks it owns in total to be sent next year. The move follows the German government's decision last month amid mounting international pressure to deliver more modern Leopard 2 battle tanks from army stocks. The plan for the delivery of the Leopard 1 tank is to be completed in the first place. The Leopard 1 tank is to be delivered in the first place. The Leopard 1 tank is to be delivered in the first place. The Leopard 1 tank is to be delivered in the first place. If decisions are made and you look back and say that they could have been met earlier, then you have a point. On the other hand, such decisions are not made in the air space, but always in the direction of the situation, the political situation, the military situation. In this sense, it may be necessary to ask if they could have met earlier. I hope that they were just right. We discussed the situation on the battlefield, we discussed the diplomatic situation and the results you can see on the ground with the decision taken by the German government today that we also bring the old Leopard battle tanks to Ukraine. This is something like 170 battle tanks that are available and that should now reach the Ukrainian U-time.
