Honestly just an observation, I had heard about hundreds earlier and went to look what happened to them. As I recall there were supposed to be 4-5 countries sending varying amounts of leopard 1's, so I don't think it's only Germany that didn't come through.

But since you went there, I don't think we can credibly call Germany one of Ukraine's biggest supporters, unless you consider them big just because they have a big GDP, which isn't really a fair metric for comparison. They are a supporter however, and for that I am thankful.
