Jakub Komoch, a spokesman for the Polish president’s office, called talk of supplying Ukraine with a large number of Leopard tanks “absolute disinformation.”
About this during an interview with radio station “Z” today, on Monday, in response to media reports about Warsaw’s plans to supply these tanks to Kyiv, he said that the Polish authorities are considering the possibility of transferring a small symbolic number of Leopard tanks to Ukraine. in cooperation with other Western countries.
Komuch continued that talk of moving “a large number of (Leopard) tanks” is nothing but “an absolute fallacy”, and talk of “several tens or hundreds of tanks is absurd, creating an alternative reality”, noting that Poland has these tanks and can become part of a coalition of Western countries that will provide these tanks, but will not do anything itself.
According to unofficial information transmitted by Polish radio, the Polish authorities sent more than 200 T-27 tanks and several dozen infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine, there is no official information about the number of delivered equipment. However, the government reported that a large batch of equipment had been handed over to the Ukrainian side. As compensation, Poland expected to receive German Leopard tanks, since the Polish army has 126 2A4 tanks and 105 2A5 tanks.
