Ukrainian tank operators have been going through a condensed 30-day training course on the Leopard tanks in Poland.

Military instructors from Canada, Norway and Poland have been training the Ukrainians both in virtual simulators and in live-fire and manoeuvre exercises. The training took place at the Leopard training centre in Świętoszów, Poland. The Polish-led programme is aimed at helping Ukraine uphold its right to self-defence, enshrined in the UN Charter, against Russia’s war of aggression.
