Ukraine receives eight Leopard 2 tanks and support vehicles from Norway
The Norwegian Armed Forces have announced the delivery of eight Leopard 2 tanks and four support vehicles to Ukraine.
According to Eurointegration, this is stated in a statement by the Norwegian Ministry of Defense.
The ministry published a series of photos showing the delivery of military equipment from Norway to Ukraine.
The Ministry reminded that on January 26, Norway decided to join the international transfer of tanks to Ukraine.
“Shortly after that, it was decided that Norway would transfer eight Leopard 2 tanks and up to four support vehicles to Ukraine. The tanks are already in place, and training is underway in Poland under the auspices of the EU,” – the statement said.
The tanks were transported using a Ukrainian An-124 transport aircraft.
In addition to the eight tanks and support vehicles, Norway is also providing funds for ammunition and spare parts.
“Now we believe it is absolutely right to support Ukraine. It is important for Norwegian and European security that Russia does not win in its aggression against Ukraine,” said Norwegian Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram.
