Denmark and the Netherlands are joining forces to buy Leopard main battle tanks for Ukraine.
The 14 Leopard 2 battle tanks will be delivered at the beginning of 2024 in a deal worth an estimated €134 million.
In March, Denmark already announced it would team up with Germany and the Netherlands to donate at least 100 Leopard 1 tanks, which should be ready for Ukrainian forces to begin training in the coming weeks.
This means Denmark “is absolutely supreme among the countries that have delivered the most tanks to Ukraine,” Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen told journalists in Copenhagen on Thursday morning.
