Germany and Poland will soon reach an
agreement to create a service center for the repairs of Ukraine’s Leopard battle tanks and other Western equipment, Germany’s ambassador to Poland told
Bloomberg.
The negotiations will be completed “in the next few days,” he said, adding that the center will be used to supply Ukraine with much-needed spare parts for German-made equipment.
Similar service centers have also been created in Slovakia and Romania.
At least four Leopard-2 tanks and 16 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles were damaged or destroyed during the first week of Ukraine’s summer counteroffensive, according to the Oryx service, which analyzes open-source data on equipment.
