That’s how many tanks will be needed for the attack of the Armed Forces, experts wrote earlier.
Poland expects Western countries to transfer up to 100 battle tanks to Ukraine, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said, quoted by Bloomberg.
Moravetsky noted that he called on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to supply Ukraine with a sufficient number of Leopards.
According to the Polish Prime Minister, Warsaw has already reserved 14 of its Leopard tanks for Ukraine: “And now we are waiting for Leopards from Denmark, Finland and Germany, as well as tanks from other EU countries.”
Leopard tanks for Ukraine – what is known
During his visit to Lviv on January 16, Polish President Andrzej Duda announced his readiness to hand over a company of German Leopards to Ukraine. However, there are discussions in Berlin about this.
Without Scholz’s political decision, the transfer of German-made weapons is impossible. Although the media assume that the allies will be able to persuade Berlin.
After the resignation of German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht, who resisted the supply of armored vehicles to Ukraine, her successor will make them “his priority,” Reuters wrote.
Fuel was added to the fire by Britain, which was the first in the Western coalition to officially approve the transfer of modern domestically produced Challanger 2 heavy tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Experts believe that about 100 tanks are needed for the announced attack of the Armed Forces. At the same time, it is stated that Leopard can play a decisive role in the offensive.
