However, the transfer must be part of a larger effort by a group of allies, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTogether with [Polish] president [Andrzej Duda], we are holding talks which would lead towards building a broader coalition of states that could supply such heavy, modern gear\u201d to Ukraine, Morawiecki said on Jan. 7, as reported by local daily Rzeczpospolita. \u201cThe talks are ongoing. I spoke about this with [German] chancellor [Olaf] Scholz a few weeks ago in Brussels, and I believe that, in the coming few days, we could know more about this topic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morawiecki\u2019s declaration follows a report by The Wall Street Journal which quoted an unnamed senior Polish diplomat as saying Poland is considering a request from Ukraine to donate its Leopard 2s. Last year, Warsaw delivered its Soviet-designed T-72 tanks to the Ukrainian military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany donated the Leopard 2 tanks, which were previously used by the Bundeswehr, to Poland, initiating deliveries in 2002. The Polish Armed Forces currently operate some 247 Leopard 2s in different variants. These include Leopard 2A4 and 2A5 tanks, as well as Leopard 2PL tanks upgraded by the Polish defense industry in cooperation with Germany\u2019s Rheinmetall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berlin must approve all weapon transfers of German-made weaponry even long after giving the equipment to partners. As of Jan. 9, the German government had yet to receive a Leopard 2 transfer request from Poland, spokesman Steffen Hebestreit told journalists in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the coming years, Poland intends to base its modern tank fleet on U.S. M1A2 <a
