The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine spoke about the negotiations on the supply of Leopard tanks to Ukraine.

During the negotiations between Ukraine and Western countries, it became known that to date, five countries have expressed a desire to provide Ukraine with heavy NATO tanks Leopard 2. Kuleba did not name the suppliers of tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, however, among such countries there are Spain, Poland, Finland and two more unnamed countries - according to a number of assumptions, we are talking about Germany and Denmark.

At the moment, the total volume of tanks that the announced countries can transfer to Ukraine is not called, however, we are probably talking about at least 100 combat vehicles. Moreover, Spain and Germany, which have the largest number of Leopard 2A4 tanks in service, can become key suppliers.

Experts fear that the transfer of a large number of Western tanks to Ukraine could seriously aggravate the situation in Ukraine. At the same time, it was previously reported that in total the West could transfer about 500 Western-style tanks to Ukraine, while there is information that about 50 more T-72 tanks could be transferred to Ukraine by the Czech Republic.
