German government approved supply of 178 "Leopard-1" tanks to Ukraine, - Der Spiegel

Germany’s Federal Security Council has approved the supply of 178 "Leopard-1" tanks from industrial stocks to Ukraine.

As Censor.NET reports, Spiegel writes about it.

The decision allows the export of Leopard-1 tanks from the Rheinmetall and Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft (FFG) groups.

According to the publication, the first tanks should be delivered to Ukraine in the summer, but most of them will not be before next year. The government will officially announce the decision on Tuesday evening.

Last week, the German government granted a license to export "Leopard-1" tanks to Ukraine.

The Leopard-1 is the first main battle tank built for the German Army after World War II. It was produced from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s. The 14 Leopard 2 tanks promised earlier by Berlin are much more modern. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3398361

Lithuania handed Ukraine dozens of L-70 anti-aircraft guns with ammunition

Lithuania handed over dozens of L-70 anti-aircraft guns with ammunition to Ukraine and conducted training for Ukrainian instructors on handling these weapons.

As Censor.NET informs, this was announced on the Facebook page of the Ministry of Defense of Lithuania.

"The last (in time - ed) Lithuanian military support for Ukraine is dozens of L-70 anti-aircraft vehicles with ammunition. For the last two weeks, Ukrainian instructors in Lithuania have been participating in training on how to operate these guns. They will train even more Ukrainian operators when they return to the country", the message says.

It is also noted that, in general, Lithuania plans to train about 1,600 Ukrainian soldiers this year. This will help Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression.

"Lithuania will continue to support Ukraine by all possible means as long as necessary," the country's defense department notes. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3398348
