First Leopard 2 tank sent from Canada to Ukraine

Canada’s Defense Minister said the country has sent its first Leopard 2 tank to Ukraine. Anita Anand said a Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft departed Halifax carrying the first Leopard 2 main battle tank that Canada is sending to the conflict, alongside NATO allies that include the US, Germany, and Poland. “Canada stands with the people of Ukraine. We’ll continue to provide Ukraine’s Armed Forces with the equipment that they need to win,” the minister said. Canada has pledged to supply Ukraine with four Leopard 2 main battle tanks.
