ISTANBUL (AA) - Poland plans to contribute a company of tanks to Ukraine as part of efforts to form an international coalition supporting Kyiv in its war with Russia, President Andrzej Duda said on Wednesday.

"A company of Leopard tanks for Ukraine will be transferred" within the framework of an international coalition, Duda said at a press conference in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, according to a tweet by the Polish presidency.

Duda asserted that Russia's war in Ukraine must end, adding that this was "one of the greatest challenges for the entire free world."

"All NATO countries must support Ukraine. We see this war with our own eyes. Ukraine will not defend itself without our support," Duda added.

Duda went to Lviv to attend a meeting of the Lublin Triangle, a regional alliance of Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine, along with his counterparts from Kyiv and Vilnius.
