The Netherlands consider supplying main battle tanks to Ukraine. On Tuesday, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who will meet Chancellor Karl Nnehammer (ÖVP) in Vienna on Thursday, was open to making 18 Leopard 2 tanks leased from Germany available to Ukraine. “We rent them, which means we can buy them, which means we can donate them,” he told the and some other international media in Brussels.
Norway also wants to supply Leopard main battle tanks after Germany’s decision. The Norwegian government supports allowing Ukraine to have tanks and will do its part, Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram told Norwegian radio station NRK late on Wednesday. This is done as part of a broad collaboration with allies and partners. He still cannot say how many of the country’s 36 Leopard tanks will be delivered. But it’s about Leopard 2A4 tanks.
