A press release by Ukroboronprom on Monday citing Bukin said the last party of tanks had passed checks by the customers and would be sent to the buyer in the near future.

"The contract was fulfilled, despite Russian aggression. We are thankful to our strategic parters in Thailand for their understanding," Bukin said, adding that the sale put money into Ukraine's hard-currency coffers.
