Poland has delivered the first Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine, the Polish defence minister said on Friday, on the anniversary of Russia’s invasion.
WARSAW, Poland –
Poland was the first country to offer to send Leopards to Ukraine and was fiercely critical of Berlin’s initial reluctance to approve the transfer of the powerful battle vehicles to Kyiv. “On the anniversary of Russia’s vicious attack on Ukraine, I am in Kyiv to give a clear signal of further support in defence of Ukraine,” Morawiecki tweeted.
Morawiecki also laid a wreath at the Fallen Defenders memorial in Kyiv alongside Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
