Poland is currently handing over four Leopard 2 A4 tanks to Ukraine, while the rest of the batch is expected to come shortly. This was stated by Polish Prime

Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who spoke at a joint press conference in Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrinform reports.

"Today, as the first European country, I’d like to symbolically hand over to you, Volodymyr, the first four Polish Leopard 2 A4 tanks. These are the tanks that, without a doubt, will perfectly complement the ranks on the battlefield and perform well," Morawiecki said.

He added that soon, Poland will hand over more such tanks.
