German-made Leopard tanks have been spotted near Bakhmut, according to an advisor to the head of the self-proclaimed pro-Russian Donetsk People’s Republic.

Gagin went on to downplay the tanks’ presence near the frontlines.

European officials previously stated that the first donated Leopard 2 tanks had begun to arrive in Ukraine.
