The training of Ukrainian tank crews in Germany on how to operate advanced German-made tanks is on schedule, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said while visiting a military training ground in northwest Germany on February 20. "The goal is for the tanks, both Leopards and Marders, to be delivered [to Ukraine] by the end of March and military training to be completed by then as well," Pistorius said. Ukrainians are scheduled to receive five weeks of training on the Leopard 2A6, an advanced German-made tank that will be shipped to Ukraine.
