The first Polish Leopard tanks have arrived in Ukraine


WARSAW, Feb 24 (Reuters) – The first Leopard tanks promised by Poland to Ukraine have been delivered to it, Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said on Friday during a meeting of the country’s National Security Council.

The Minister made the announcement as Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited Kyiv on this symbolic date of the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“The Prime Minister could not be present, he went to Kyiv to deliver the Leopards which are the first batch supplied to Ukraine,” President Andrzej Duda said during his opening remarks of the Security Council meeting in Warsaw.
