Portugal lubas saata Ukrainasse 4 tanki Leopard, aga nüüd on sellest ootamatult loobutud. Asjast teatas peaminister António Costa.

Põhjuseks on asjaolu, et enamus Portugali 37 tankist pole töökorras ning neil pole varuosi. Lisaks pole Portugalil ka laskemoona.

Portugal’s PM António Costa has decided to walk back on the decision to transfer 4 Leopard 2A6 tanks to Ukraine according the newspaper Sol.

The majority of Portugal’s 37 Leopard tanks aren’t operational due to a lack of spare parts.
