(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, MAR 7 - Poland said Tuesday that it will
send 10 Leopard tanks to Ukraine this week, offering more of the
vehicles that Kyiv says are crucial to countering Russia's
invasion. Poland had promised to ship a total of 14 German-made
Leopard 2 heavy tanks to Kyiv, with the first four already
delivered in late February, on the first anniversary of Russia's
offensive in Ukraine. "Poland already this week will deliver to
Ukraine 10 Leopard 2A4 tanks," Mariusz Blaszczak told reporters
in Warsaw before flying to Stockholm for a meeting of EU defence
ministers. Blaszczak also said Poland would set up a service hub
for the battle tanks used in Ukraine. (ANSA-AFP).
