KIEV, March 27 (Xinhua) -- Ukraine received the first batch of Leopard 2 tanks from Germany, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported Monday, citing German news outlet Der Spiegel.
The German-made tanks were handed over to Ukraine two months after Berlin's decision to supply them, the news agency said.
It did not specify the number of tanks that were transferred to Ukraine.
In January, Germany decided to supply its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and green-lighted requests by other countries to do so.
Media outlets reported that Germany intended to send 18 Leopard 2A6 tanks to Ukraine.
