Poland to permit Ukrainian soldiers to train with Leopard tanks

NATO and defense leaders from some 50 countries have failed to agree on supplying coveted German Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine in the face of threats from Russia that such a move could escalate the conflict.

And while Ukraine maintains hope it will eventually get the battle vehicles, officials in Kyiv say their soldiers would begin training on them.
