 Denmark, Netherlands, to give Ukraine 14 Leopard tanks. Denmark said that it and the Netherlands had agreed to buy and donate 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine as more heavy weapons are being pledged to Kiev. The Netherlands and Denmark announced our intention to jointly acquire, refurbish and donate 14 2A4 tanks for Ukraine following our successful collaboration with Germany on the supply of at least 100 Leopard 1A5 tanks. The Danish Defence Ministry said in a statement, adding that the tanks would be supplied from early 2024. It is absolutely crucial for the hope of a peaceful and secure Europe that we do not let the Ukrainians fight the battle alone. Denmark's Acting Defence Minister, Charles Lund-Polsen said, In February, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands also announced they will pool resources to restore at least 100 old Leopard 1 tanks from industry stocks and supply them to Ukraine this year and next. In early February 2023, Denmark together with the Netherlands and Germany launched a project to refurbish a large number of Leopard 1A5 tanks. The first goal of the project is to deliver two tank battalions to Ukraine as quickly as possible which corresponds to approximately 80 tanks. The first tanks are expected to be ready during the spring and will be used to train Ukrainian forces. As part of the project, Denmark will provide training to Ukrainian soldiers on how to operate the Leopard 1A5 tanks as well as supply spare parts and an ammunition package. Germany and Britain last month delivered 18 advanced Leopards and 14 Challenger 2 tanks respectively.
