According to Censor.NET, this was reported by the press service of the Spanish Ministry of Defence.
The aid package includes 10 Leopard 2A4 tanks, various excavators and anti-tank missiles.
"The multimodal transportation of 10 Leopard 2A4 battle tanks to Ukraine has begun, which have undergone the process of repair, adjustment and readiness at the Santa Barbara Sistemas plant in Alcalá de Guadaira, as well as the relevant tests to verify their full performance," the statement said.
It is noted that the new batch of aid will arrive in Poland this weekend, from where it will be transported to Ukraine.
