Portugal to send Ukraine three Leopard 2 tanks
LISBON, Feb 8 (Reuters) -Portugal is repairing some its Leopard 2 tanks and will send threeto war-torn Ukraine next month, Prime Minister Antonio Costa said on Wednesday.
The announcement came after Costa said on Saturday the southern European nation was in talks with Germany to obtain parts needed to repairinoperable Leopard tanks in Portugal's inventory.
"Right now we are implementing the recovery and maintenance plan for the Leopard 2 tanks and, according to the plan, we are in a position to be able to send three of them in March," Costa told parliament.
"This is what we are working towards," Costa added.
Admiral AntonioSilva Ribeiro, the head of the Portuguese armed forces, said last month Portugal had 37 Leopard 2 tanks but local media has widely reportedthat most are inoperable.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said last week week the country would receive 120 to 140 Western tanks in a "first wave" of deliveries from a coalition of 12 countries.
Kyiv secured pledges from the West to supply main battle tanks to fendoff Russia's full-scale invasion, with Moscow mounting huge efforts to make incremental advances in eastern Ukraine.
