The first eight AHS Krab self-propelled howitzers produced by Poland under an intergovernmental agreement with Ukraine on the supply of weapons are ready for shipment to Kyiv, polskieradio24 reports.

"Eight Krab howitzers from the contract signed in June with Ukraine are ready to be transferred to the recipient. According to the Radio Information Agency, the equipment is awaiting the completion of the last formalities and will be transported to Ukraine," the message says.

Currently, the next training of soldiers of the Ukrainian army who will operate cannon howitzers is being completed in Poland, polskieradio24 informs.
