Denmark, Netherlands gift Ukraine 14 more Leopard 2 tanks to fight off Russian troops

The Netherlands and Denmark have agreed to buy 14 Leopard 2 tanks for Ukraine and give them.

“The Netherlands and Denmark today announce our intention to jointly acquire, refurbish and donate 14 Leopard 2A4 tanks for Ukraine,” the Danish Ministry of Defence said in a statement.

It said the German tanks would be supplied from “early 2024” and the estimated cost of 165 million euros ($180m) would be “equally divided”.

“In this way, we will jointly take part in the ‘Leopard 2 coalition’, supported by many partners and allies,” the statement said.

Dutch Defence Minister Kajsa Ollongren said in a separate statement, “Ukrainian and European security are inextricably linked.”
