According to the newspaper, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva rejected a request from the German side to supply ammunition for Leopard 1 tanks. The fact that Berlin tried to obtain ammunition for these tanks already indicates that the German government has approved a request by the defence concern Rheinmetall to supply Ukraine with 88 Leopard 1 tanks, the paper specified.
“Permission for this is in place, government circles say,” the paper said.
At the same time, it noted that there were problems with ammunition, as Leopard 1 tanks are no longer produced, and other ammunition is used for Leopard 2 tanks.
