Morocco will become the first African country to provide military assistance to the Ukrainian regime. According to the French edition of Le Journal de l'Afrique, Rabat will give Kiev spare parts for T-72B and T-72BK tanks.
It is clarified that the Maghreb country purchased the corresponding tanks from Belarus in the period from 1999 to 2001.
The decision on military supplies was made by the Moroccan state under pressure from the United States.

It is in particular need of Kiev in conditions of depletion of European arsenals of Soviet weapons and military equipment. At the same time, the main problem with the transfer of NATO weapons is that Ukrainian militants need to be trained to handle them, and this takes precious time.
