BERLIN, January 9. /TASS/. Germany’s Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft company is building a tank maintenance center in western Ukraine, Marcus Faber, a Bundestag member from the Free Democratic Party, wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

"In western Ukraine, Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft is building a maintenance hub for armored vehicles in need of repair, namely for the Leopard 1 tanks provided by the company," he pointed out.

The total amount of German support for Ukraine - including humanitarian, financial and military assistance - has exceeded 25 bln euros since February 2022. The media reported in November that the German government planned to double support for Kiev from 4 bln euros to 8 bln euros in 2024. However, the authorities have not yet agreed on the budget for 2024 due to fiscal problems.
