Despite the green light from Berlin, it will take another two months before seeing Leopard tanks on the ground.

"It is planned that we will have the company at the end of March at the beginning of April" in Ukraine, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said during a visit to Bundeswehr troops in Saxony-Anhalt.

The training of Ukrainian soldiers in the handling of light armored Marders will begin "by the end of January" in Germany and the training on the Leopards will follow "a little later", he added.

“The delivery of military equipment as part of the exercise of self-defense (…) does not constitute co-belligerence”

Paris wanted to clear up the question of a potential shipment of heavy tanks to Ukraine, after the green light from Berlin to deliver Leopards.

"We are not at war with Russia and none of our partners are," said Quai d'Orsay spokeswoman Anne-Claire Legendre.

The Kremlin had denounced the "direct involvement" of Westerners in the conflict with this announced delivery of German and American tanks.
