Poland to send 60 more tanks to Ukraine

The Polish prime minister said on Thursday that Poland will send 60 tanks to Ukraine on top of the 14 German-made Leopard 2 tanks it has already pledged. The Polish prime minister said in an interview with Canadian television on Thursday that Germany had pressed hard for Germany to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and allow other countries to do so as well, a demand Berlin agreed to on Wednesday.

Poland sent 250 tanks as the first country half a year ago, or even more than that, Mateusz Morawiecki told CTV News.

In April last year, two months after Russia invaded Ukraine, Poland said it had sent tanks to help Kyiv fend off the attack.

We are ready to send 60 of our modernised tanks, 30 of which are PT 91. And on top of those tanks, 14 tanks, Leopard 2 tanks, were in our possession. The PT 91 is a Polish-made battle tank that came into service in the 1990s and developed from the Soviet-era T-72 range.
