(Reuters) – Germany, Poland and Ukraine signed an agreement on Friday for a hub to repair Leopard tanks used in Ukraine to fight Russian forces, Germany’s Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said at a meeting of allies at the Ramstein air base. <\/p>\n

All parties agreed on how to finance such a hub, which costs around 150-200 million euros ($384 million) a year and could begin operations at the end of May, Pistorius told reporters. <\/p>\n

Asked about Ukraine’s prospects to join the NATO alliance, Pistorius said all members agreed that they saw Ukraine as a future member but said “first things first”, the focus now had to be on supporting Ukraine on the battlefield. <\/p>\n
