The German and Greek defense ministries are working on specific details of such a deal, Olaf Scholz said.
Greece would move Soviet -style tanks to Ukraine, and in return would receive more modern combat vehicles from Germany. On Tuesday, May 31, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said at a press conference following an extraordinary EU summit.

“It also includes the fact that we support countries that, for example, have their disposal tanks from Warsaw Pact stocks. We have already been able to prepare some such special agreements. We have now reached an agreement to the Prime Minister of Greece (Kyriakos Mitsotakis – ed.) about the intention to do the same, “Scholz said.
He assured that Germany would provide Greece with a German armored personnel carrier in return. According to him, the defense ministries of the two countries are working on the specific details of such a deal.
The chancellor also added that he had discussed a similar agreement with Poland.
Note that earlier, Polish President Andrzej Duda said that the German government had not fulfilled its promise to provide Leopard tanks to replace those it had moved to Ukraine.
As you know, Ukraine received at least 200 T-72 tanks from Poland. This number was enough to form two full tank brigades.
