“In addition to the eight Leopard 2 tanks that we’ve delivered to Poland, Canada has deployed three Leopard gunnery simulators to help train Ukrainian tank crews on the operation and tactics of these tanks,” tweeted the Minister of Defense of Canada.
According to Anita Anand, Canadian support for Ukraine is comprehensive and it will continue.
Previously, Canada had already sent the first four Leopard 2 tanks for Ukraine to Europe: they were delivered to Poland, where Ukrainian tankers are trained to use such armored vehicles.
In February, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the decision to transfer four more Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
