WARSAW (Sputnik) - Over the past weeks, the much-hyped Ukrainian "counteroffensive" resulted in severe losses for Kiev's forces, with multiple tanks and military vehicles being destroyed - all while Ukraine failed to damage Russian defenses.

"In the coming weeks, dozens of Leopard 1 A5 battle tanks will be delivered to Ukraine provided by Germany and Denmark," German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on Monday in an interview with Polish press.

Pistorius mentioned a military aid package to Kiev prepared in May.
"Only in May, we prepared a new 2.7 billion euros [$3 million] aid package that includes other urgently needed weapons, as well as additional IRIS-T SLM air defense systems," Pistorius added.
Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Monday that Russian armed forces had destroyed 920 Ukrainian armored vehicles, including 16 Leopard tanks, in the Donbass and Zaporozhye regions in June.
