Poland
is ready to hand over 60 PT-91 tanks (a modernized version of the T-72) and 14 Leopard 2 to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The head of the Polish government, Mateusz Morawiecki, said this in an interview with the Canadian television channel CTV News.
He also says that Warsaw is taking further steps to get various countries to join the international coalition for the transfer of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
