Canada will send four Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine "in the coming weeks"

MADRID, 26 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand announced Thursday that Ottawa will send four Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine "in the coming weeks," thus joining the allies that have decided to supply kyiv with this type of tank.

"This donation, combined with the contributions of allies and partners, will significantly help the Ukrainian Armed Forces in their heroic fight to defend the freedom and sovereignty of their nation," he explained in a press conference broadcast by the Global News channel. .

Anand has specified that the tanks will give the Ukrainian military "a tactical advantage on the battlefield" thanks to "their excellent mobility" or "their firepower." "These tanks will allow Ukraine to further liberate its territory and defend its people from Russia's brutal invasion," he reiterated.

The shipment also includes ammunition, as well as training for the Ukrainian Armed Forces so they can operate the equipment in coordination with allies. "Tanks are not easy to maintain," he has said, adding that their supply will still be "essential" for kyiv.
