An initial agreement to send 40 Greek army BMP-1s to Ukraine in exchange for a same-number of German-made Marder infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) appears finalized.

Greece will send older German tanks to Ukraine from its own stock and Germany will immediately replace these with newer ones, the Greek Ministry of National Defense said on Tuesday.

The possibility of immediate replacement of the weapons systems that serve the fixed needs of the country's defense is the main parameter that can influence Athens' decision to give armored personnel carriers to Ukraine.
