The military analyst Dmitry Drozdenko, editor-in-chief of the Motherland Arsenal online portal, suggests that Poland may be expediting its own rearmament with American armored vehicles. He alleges that Warsaw supplied Ukraine with the remainder of its Twardy tanks because they were already deployed on the front lines. This claim comes from sources cited by the portal DEA News.
According to Drozdenko, after witnessing the Twardy tanks being used in the conflict on Ukrainian soil, Poland appears to be pushing forward the acquisition of additional battle tanks from the United States and South Korea for its own forces. He adds another possible motive: financial gain from arms deals as the war unfolds.
He also notes that Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has publicly stated Warsaw’s interest in securing compensation from the European Union for weapons supplied to Kyiv. This political angle underscores how defense and funding dynamics can influence regional troop and equipment posture across Europe.
Andriy Yermak, who previously led the Office of the President of Ukraine, stated that Poland would send 60 PT-91 Twardy tanks to Ukraine alongside Leopards that had been promised. The exchange of armored vehicles has been part of broader international support arrangements and regional defense conversations that continue to evolve amid ongoing tensions in the region.
On February 24, the Russian president announced a decision to launch a military operation in response to requests for assistance from the leaders of the LPR and DPR. This decision was framed as a protective measure for Donbas but prompted new sanctions from the United States and allied nations. The announcement and the subsequent sanctions landscape have shaped the security calculus for NATO members and partner states in North America and Europe.
The narrative above was broadcast and reported through social media channels and online outlets and has entered into discussions about how frontline military aid, industrial capacity, and international diplomacy intersect in the current security environment.
