"There are new agreements on armored personnel carriers - over 100 vehicles. As for the armored vehicles - 200 Rosomak vehicles. One hundred now and one hundred later," Zelenskyy said during his evening address.

In addition, the concern of the Ukrainian state Ukroboronprom reported that the Polish arms manufacturer Bumar-Labedi in Gliwice will repair and service Ukrainian T-64 tanks, citing the agreement between the two parties.
