Ukraine will be provided with a company of Leopard tanks as part of an international coalition of allies, one of which will be Poland, Polish President Andrzej Duda has said.

"Recently, we really decided to transfer such support [tanks] to Ukraine from Poland. A company of Leopard tanks will be provided within the framework of the coalition," Duda said at a press conference with the presidents of Ukraine and Lithuania in Lviv as part of the Lublin Triangle.

According to him, the decision on the formation of such an international coalition has already been made.
