Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans has announced that 14 Leopard 2A4 tanks the two countries previously purchased for Ukraine are ready to be delivered to Ukraine.
This was reported by the Ministry of Defence of the Netherlands.
The first 12 tanks have already been prepared and transferred for shipment.
“Ukraine urgently needs more military support, given the heavy fighting on the battlefield. These tanks can play an important role for the Ukrainian army to defend itself against Russian troops,” Brekelmans stressed.
He added that his country will pursue the concept of ‘support for Ukraine as long as it takes’.
Between the purchase and delivery to Ukraine, the tanks were refurbished and tested.
In June, 2024, the Netherlands and Denmark bought 14 Leopard 2A4 tanks from Rheinmetall.
