The Netherlands is open to paying for Leopard tanks to be sent to Ukraine as part of a coalition of European and NATO allies, said Dutch Minister of Defense Kajsa Ollongren.

The country previously paid for Soviet-era T-72 tanks from the Czech Republic to be sent to Kyiv, and that approach could be replicated for the German-made Leopard tanks, she said.
