BERLIN, Jan 25 (Reuters) - NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg welcomed Germany's decision to provide Leopard battle tanks to Ukraine, saying in an interview media outlet WELT they would help Ukraine win against Russia.

Stoltenberg praised Germany and Chancellor Olaf Scholz's "leadership role" in clearing the way for the tanks, adding: "At a critical moment in Russia's war, these tanks can help Ukraine defend itself, win and stand as an independent nation." (Writing by Miranda Murray, editing by Kirsti Knolle)
