About 20 tanks have already been sent to the combat zone, according to the Algerian electronic resource Menadefense.

It is noted that the decision to supply weapons to Ukraine was made under pressure during a meeting at the Ramstein airbase in Germany, organized by the United States in April 2022.

Then only Tunisia and Morocco represented North Africa at the meeting.

Tunisia sent two cargo planes at the time to Rzeszow Airport in Poland, which centralizes logistical assistance to Ukraine.

"Morocco appears to have followed suit by sending not humanitarian aid but open arms," ​​the statement said.

Earlier, German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock said that Germany would not interfere with the supply of Leopard 2 tanks to Kyiv from Warsaw.
