In a new escalation that threatens to expand the circle of war in Ukraine, the "Minadefense" website, which specializes in security news, revealed that an Arab country provided Kiev with high-quality military aid to repel Moscow, which had invaded its lands.
The website reported that Morocco became the first Arab and African country to supply weapons to Ukraine, after it delivered about 20 T-72B tanks to Kyiv a week ago after they were modernized in the Czech Republic.
He noted that Morocco made the decision to hand over the tanks to Ukraine during the German Ramstein summit held on April 26, 2022, hosted by the United States when Tunisia and Morocco attended the same meeting as representatives of North Africa.
According to the website, at that time Tunisia sent two cargo planes to the Rzeszow airport in Poland, which included several items of logistical aid to Ukraine, and it seems that Morocco followed suit, but by directly sending weapons, and not humanitarian aid.
The site noted that the Moroccan authority has about 148 T-72 tanks that it bought between 1999-2000 from Belarus to establish the so-called "Russian brigade" in the northern part of the country to protect the country from the armored divisions of neighboring Algeria.
