Coalition of Armoured Vehicles in Support of Ukraine launched in Warsaw
On 26 March, the Coalition of Armoured Vehicles in Support of Ukraine was launched in Warsaw. This initiative was proposed by Poland and Germany, and it already has the support of the UK, Sweden and Italy.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
During the first meeting, representatives of the participating countries developed a consolidated position on strengthening the technical park of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with certain types of armoured vehicles and organising a system for their repair.
Four syndicates have been created within the Armoured Vehicle Coalition, each with a representative from Ukraine.
Each syndicate has specific tasks:
- supplying weapons and ammunition for Western armoured vehicles;
- maintenance and repair;
- training of crews and technical staff;
- practicing effective tactics of using armoured vehicles on the battlefield.
"This is a very important initiative of our allies, given the existing problems in the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the repair of foreign armoured vehicles. I hope that with the help of our allies, we will be able to create an effective repair base for Western armoured vehicles in Ukraine as soon as possible," said Deputy Defence Minister Ivan Havryliuk.
The newly created Coalition will develop a roadmap that will be in line with the development strategy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is expected that in the long term, the member countries of the Tank Coalition and the Armoured Vehicle Coalition will help create the future armoured vehicle fleet of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and establish an innovative industrial partnership with Ukraine.
