Poland believes Germany and Spain should make biggest contribution, transfer up to 150 Leopard tanks to Ukraine

The former commander of the Polish Ground Forces and the country's deputy defense minister, General Waldemar Skrzypczak, said this in a comment to Ukrinform.

“Most tanks should be given to Ukraine by the countries located as far as possible from the front. Poland is on the front line, so it cannot give many tanks. But Germany and Spain, which are far from the front, can do it. They should make the biggest contribution and together give about 150 tanks,” Skrzypczak said.

He noted that the formation of an international coalition regarding the transfer of tanks to Ukraine is in the right direction, but everything is happening “too slowly.”

• Spanish Foreign Affairs Minister José Manuel Albares said that his country currently has no intention of transferring tanks to Ukraine.

• Finland announced its readiness to participate in a coalition of countries that will deliver Leopard tanks to Ukraine.

• Poland is ready to provide Ukraine with 14 Leopard tanks and hopes that other NATO countries will follow its example and manage to assemble at least an armored brigade.
