Spain to send six Leopard 2A4s to Ukraine in the coming days - Defense Minister

This was stated by Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles at a joint press conference with her Ukrainian counterpart Oleksiy Reznikov, Ukrinform reports citing El Pais.

"In the coming days, six Leopard 2A4 tanks will be sent to Ukraine," Robles said.

According to her, the delivery of combat vehicles will be carried out by sea and will be completed by the end of April. In addition to tanks, Spain will also supply Kyiv with 20 armored personnel carriers.

"There are four more Leopards that are already being repaired so that they can be delivered as soon as possible," the Spanish minister added.

She noted that the purpose of today's meeting was to determine in which areas Spain could continue to assist Ukraine.

"And, of course, we will continue our training work. Here in Spain, more than 1000 soldiers have already been trained and are still being trained. I can say that they have shown us all an example of heroism and commitment to Ukraine and peace," Robles said.

As reported by Ukrinform, Germany handed over 18 Leopard 2A6 tanks to Ukraine. Ukraine also received three Leopard 2A6 tanks from Portugal.
