Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Nagy said that his country is ready to immediately transfer 30 T-72 tanks to Ukraine if they are replaced by Western tanks. Slovakia is also ready to discuss the transfer of its MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine.

The Independent writes about it.

Nagy noted that in August last year, Slovakia handed over 30 BVP-1 infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine. Instead, Germany sent 15 Leopard 2 tanks to Slovakia.

"We still have 30 T-72 tanks and would be ready to immediately send them to Ukraine, even tomorrow, if there is an option to receive Western tanks in exchange — Leopard or any other," Yaroslav Nagy said.
