Six Leopard 2 tanks that Spain will provide to Ukraine have arrived at the port of Santander in the northern part of the country

This was reported by CNN. It is expected that by the end of the month these tanks, along with other armored vehicles provided by Spain, will be ready to be sent to the frontline in Ukraine.

The Leopard-2 tanks have relatively low maintenance requirements compared to other models, leading experts to believe that these tanks can quickly help Ukraine repel the Russian army.
