The six Leopard tanks that Spain promised to Ukraine took off yesterday, Friday evening, and will arrive at their destination in the coming days, Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles said today.
“Leopards […] as well as about twenty vehicles loaded in the port of Santander (northern Spain) and heading to Ukraine, where they will arrive in five to six days,” Robles told reporters.
“Another four Leopards are under repair, and when their repair is completed, they will also go to Ukraine,” the minister added.
Madrid announced the dispatch of these tanks as part of European assistance to Ukraine to repel a Russian attack.
After resisting Russian offensives on the eastern front, Ukrainian troops are reported to have been preparing for a counter-offensive in the spring or summer all winter long.
