Earlier it was reported that on January 20, at the American Air Force Base Ramstein, at the eighth meeting of representatives of the member states of the Contact Group for the Defense of Ukraine, a decision was not made on the supply of German Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.. It was about deliveries either directly from Germany, or, with its consent, for re-export from other countries..

After the meeting, the new German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius already ordered an audit of the fleet of Leopard tanks, both those in service with the Bundeswehr and those that are still with manufacturers.
