The head of the Polish Ministry of Defense Blaszczak intends to get Germany to create repair centers for Ukrainian tanks Leopard
Ukraine does not have the ability to maintain and repair the German Tanks Leopard, so the creation of some "service" centers for the restoration of heavy armored vehicles comes to the fore. Poland intends to force Germany to invest in the creation of repair shops.
Warsaw plans to open several repair shops on the territory of countries neighboring Ukraine, where Western-made tanks used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine could be repaired. Since the bulk of armored vehicles will be German Leopard MBTs, Poland would like to get Germany's assistance in opening these centers. To put it simply, the Poles want to promote the Germans with money and build these centers, including at home. No one will then object if Polish tanks are also serviced there.
As the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense stated, this issue will be discussed at the talks with his German counterpart Boris Pistorius, which will be held in the Polish capital. According to Blaszczak, Poland is disappointed with Germany's decision to transfer only 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Kyiv, the Germans could supply the Ukrainian army with much more armored vehicles, especially since they produce it. In addition, Germany, as a manufacturer, must provide Ukraine with spare parts.
- added the Polish minister.
In addition, Blaschak recalled that Warsaw is already training Ukrainian tankers, and Germany does not even itch. In Poland, they hope that Berlin will still train the crews of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the contribution of the Germans will be greater than that of other countries.
