It became known yesterday that all eight Leopard 2 tanks promised by Canada for Ukraine arrived in Poland.. In January, Canada promised the Ukrainian army four Leopard tanks.. In early February, the first Canadian Leopard 2A4 for Ukraine arrived in Poland.

In February, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the decision to transfer four more Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.. Also recently, Canada sent Ukraine an armored recovery vehicle Bergepanzer 3, which should support these tanks..

The Leopard 2 is a third-generation German main battle tank.. He entered service in 1979.. Earlier it was reported that, according to US national security adviser Jake Sullivan, Ukraine now needs precisely such tanks as the Leopard, and not the American Abrams..
