Here's What We Know

The ambassador did not specify which countries he was referring to. According to official information, Great Britain will provide Challenger 2 tanks, the USA - Abrams, Poland - Leopard 2 and PT-91 Twardy. Germany recently approved supplies of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and allowed the re-export of tanks to partners, so according to media estimates, European countries alone will transfer about 80 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

"As for the delivery time, it varies on a case-by-case basis. Some need maintenance, others are dealing with logistical issues, others are waiting to receive other models to give the ones they give," Ambassador Omelchenko explained.

According to him, it is important that Ukraine receives these tanks as soon as possible: "If we wait until August or September, it will be too late".
