“We support Ukraine within the international coalition. In addition to 14 Polish Leopard tanks, this battalion also includes 4 tanks from Canada, 8 tanks from Norway, and 6 from Spain,” informed the Minister of Defense of Poland.
Mariusz Błaszczak added that he is negotiating with his Spanish colleague Margarita Robles regarding the possible provision of more tanks to Ukraine – “perhaps four more”.
“So we are definitely dealing with a battalion of heavy tanks, which in the case of the Polish side have already been transferred, and in the case of our allies will be transferred to Ukraine in a very short time,” concluded the Minister of Defense of Poland.
Mariusz Błaszczak also recalled the idea of creating a maintenance center for Leopard 2 tanks in Poland, which he is discussing with Germany.
