"This (supply to Ukraine, - ed.) will take place before the beginning of summer or in May. Maybe closer to Easter," he said.
At the same time, the minister added that, for security reasons, he cannot make public the training schedule of Ukrainian troops in the use of tanks. However, he said that the training will begin with training in individual machine control, and then move on to fighting in a formation.
