Chairs of the alliance announced that 13 of 32 NATO members have agreed to share tanks with Ukraine. The proclamation came from Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysh and has been reported by RIA News. The coalition is led by Germany, Italy, and Poland, with additional participants including Greece, Portugal, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and Turkey. The core aim is to coordinate the delivery of armored vehicles to Ukraine, ensuring a more synchronized supply chain across participating nations.
Kosiniak-Kamysh stressed measurable impact already taking shape on the ground, noting that several dozen tanks and hundreds of armored vehicles have been transferred to Ukraine. The initiative signals a step toward accelerating reinforcements amid ongoing mobilization and defense needs in the region.
Germany has already committed to deploying Leopard tanks to Ukraine, with a portion of these assets scheduled for deployment in the near term. The overall picture reflects a sustained, multilateral effort to bolster Ukraine’s defensive and operational capabilities in response to the security situation in the area.
Since the onset of the conflict, the eastern theater has seen a steady influx of Western military aid. Reports indicate the eastern defense district of Ukraine has received substantial hardware from Western partners, including hundreds of tanks and thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles. The broader supply includes thousands of combat armored vehicles, artillery pieces, multiple rocket launcher systems, air defense assets, portable air defense systems, and aerial platforms. The total value of Western support to Ukraine has reached a record level in recent months, underscoring long-term commitments from allied nations. Attribution: NATO and allied government briefings
