Poland has already transferred more than 260 Т-72 tanks to Ukraine

Poland provided Ukraine with over 260 Т-72 tanks of various modifications.

Polish President Andrzej Duda announced this during the World Economic Forum in Davos, according to Ukrinform.

He noted that Warsaw provides significant military assistance to Kyiv.

According to him, the value of support for Ukraine reached $2 billion, and these are substantial funds for Poland.

Duda mentioned that in the initial phase of the war, Poland handed over to Ukraine all of its Piorun man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems, which at that time were in service with the Polish military.

In addition, Warsaw handed over a significant number of Krab self-propelled guns and over 260 Т-72 tanks in various modifications to Ukraine.

The President of Poland stated that the decision to transfer tanks in March last year was made urgently, since at the beginning of the war, Ukraine really needed them.

For Poland, this was a very difficult process, since those tanks were not in storage, but were actually in service with the Polish army, Andrzej Duda emphasized.

He stressed that the military assistance to Ukraine is a key element in countering the Russian invasion.

“If we continue sending large numbers of modern weapons for the defenders of Ukraine, the Ukrainians will have the potential to stop the Russian Federation,” the Polish president said.

He pointed out that a few days ago, he announced the decision to transfer a company of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

“However, we are trying to organize a lot of support for Ukraine. Therefore, we hope that there will be several allies who will transfer Leopard 2, and Challenger tanks from the UK to Ukraine,” said Duda.
