The Polish government is considering Kyiv's request to donate its more 240 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

Polish diplomats told US media recently.

It is said that it is possible that all 240 German-made Leopard 2 tanks will be transferred to Ukraine if Poland can quickly receive replacements.

According to The Wall Street Journal, early in the war Poland had provided Ukraine with more than 240 modernized Soviet-made tanks.

“They are really considering giving anything just to help Ukraine,” said a Czech official closely involved in aiding Western arms shipments to Ukraine commenting on the Polish official's remarks.

It added that the speed of its delivery to Ukraine depended on how quickly Poland received the replacement tanks it had ordered from South Korea and the US.

It is said that Berlin has approved the planned donation of Leopard tanks to Ukraine.

"Now the problem is only time, when," continued the Czech official.

Poland has more than 1,000 tanks including various variants of the Leopard tank. One of them is 249 units of Leopard 2.
