The Netherlands and Denmark will deliver 14 renovated Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine before the end of the summer, according to the Dutch Ministry of Defence.

The vehicles have been tested over the past few months ahead of delivery. Twelve of them have been fully tested and the last two will be ready this week, according to the Ministry of Defence.

"Ukraine urgently needs more military support given the intense fighting on the battlefield. These tanks can play a crucial role for the Ukrainian army to defend itself against Russian forces," says Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans in a press release.

In April last year, the countries announced that they had decided to jointly acquire 14 tanks and send them to the Ukrainian defence. At the time, they believed the vehicles would be delivered in early 2024.
