The Netherlands can do this because they have leased tanks from Germany.

This was reported by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte in an interview with the Frankfurte Allgemeine Zeitung.

According to this information, the Netherlands wants to buy 18 Leopard 2 tanks from Germany in order to give them to Ukraine.

We have leased them, which means we can buy them, which means we can give them away for free.

However, he believes that such a move only makes sense in coordination with other countries, such as Finland and Portugal, but there is no decision yet.
