Recently, Germany promised to supply the Marder armored personnel carriers to Ukraine. None was supplied yet as the Ukrainian crews should be trained on the Marders first.
Meanwhile, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann believes that it makes sense to "train other Ukrainian soldiers on the Leopard 2 at the same time," she told Spiegel: "When this battle tank is needed, we won't lose any unnecessary time."
Strack-Zimmermann has been campaigning for months together with the Green Party politician Anton Hofreiter for the delivery of these battle tanks to Ukraine.
Previously, Spain, Finland, and now Poland have considered the supplies of the German-made Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. Germany's permission is required to start the supplies.
