DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - Kyiv seeks to acquire German Marder infantry fighting vehicles and ideally also Leopard main battle tanks but has not made much headway with the government in Berlin so far, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Wednesday.

"Something that we think is feasible is these Marder armoured vehicles, and our dream, of course, is German Leopard tanks," he told a news conference on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
