Ukraine to Receive 120 – 140 Tanks in ‘First-Wave’ of Deliveries

Ukraine will receive 120 to 140 tanks in the “first wave” of deliveries from a coalition of 12 countries, foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said.

Earlier this month, Ukraine “secured pledges from a group of Western countries to supply main battle tanks” to help Kyiv’s forces fight back against Russia.

“The tank coalition now has 12 members. I can note that in the first wave of contributions, the Ukrainian armed forces will receive between 120 and 140 Western-model tanks,” Kuleba said during an online briefing.
