This was stated by Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak on Twitter.

"I presented our Polish support as part of a new support package for Ukraine, which lies in the fact that by the end of March we will be able to both arm and train Ukrainian soldiers," he said.

According to the minister, this refers to the tank brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In addition, Błaszczak said that instead of the T-72 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles transferred to Ukraine, the Polish army will receive Korean K-2 tanks and K-9 howitzers. Abrams tanks and HIMARS rocket artillery are planned to be delivered to Poland.

  • On January 19, Poland announced its intention to transfer Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, regardless of Berlin's decision as the country that produced the equipment. On the same day, the Lithuanian Defense Minister announced the transfer of "hundreds" of Leopard tanks from several countries to Ukraine.
