Poland’s President Andrzej Duda was meeting Monday with the prime minister and some of his ministers to discuss security issues amid the war in neighboring Ukraine, including Kyiv's request for delivery of Western-made heavy battle tanks.
A presidential aide said the request for German-made Leopard 2 tanks which Poland, among other countries, uses, will be on the agenda.
Pawel Szrot said that should Warsaw decide to hand over a limited number of Leopard tanks it would "only be within a wide agreement and an undertaking by other countries that have these tanks."
