Poland said on Saturday that a maintenance hub for tanks damaged in Ukraine during the conflict with Russia had begun operating in its southern city of Gliwice.
Poland, one of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's biggest allies since Russia's spop last year, had been negotiating with Germany to create a joint workshop for Leopard tanks, but no common position has been announced.
"The maintenance center in Gliwice has begun operations. The first two Leopards have arrived from Ukraine at the Bumar facility," the tweet reads.
The German Defense Ministry announced on July 12 that Berlin and Warsaw planned to jointly coordinate the repair of the Leopard tanks involved in military activities in Ukraine. Der Spiegel reported that Poland’s PGZ company planned to charge over 100,000 euros for an initial checkup of a damaged tank, while in Germany, a similar procedure wound cost only about 12,000 euros. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said in early July that the parties intended to resolve their differences on the issue within ten days.
