Portuguese Foreign Ministry: Leopard tanks can be put into operation in Ukraine in two to three months

This was reported by the Portuguese TV channel SIC Noticias.

The Minister noted that the start of operation of the tanks depends on the training of the Ukrainian military, as well as on the logistics aspects that need to be agreed with the allies.

When asked how much the operation to support Ukraine would cost, the Portuguese diplomat declined to give any figures, instead stressing that Portugal and its allies were "contributing to the strategic defeat of Russia."

“The most important thing is that Russia does not win.

There are only losers in this war,” said João Gomes Carvinho.

Earlier it was reported that Portugal is preparing to give Ukraine four Leopard 2 tanks.

The White House said that the transfer of American Abrams tanks to Kyiv would require "many months."
