The compound, which will be located off the city and less than 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Ukrainian border, is expected to serve as a maintenance hub for NATO military equipment rather than a full-scale military base, the sources told the Canadian news outlet. No Canadian military personnel would be stationed in Rzeszow long-term with their families, the source noted. In mid-June, Polish envoy to NATO Tomasz Szatkowski said that Warsaw and Berlin were planning to set up a repair center for German-made Leopard battle tanks in Poland's southern city of Gliwice in the near future. However, in mid-July, media reported that Germany intended to withdraw from the project due to Warsaw's inflated expectations regarding maintenance payments.In early June, Ukraine launched its much-hyped counteroffensive, which has turned out to be an absolute disaster. The Kiev regime have been suffering heavy losses in troops and NATO-supplied weapons. The US-led military bloc has provided Ukraine with armored vehicles and munition for enormous sums of money, while Zelensky's generals have been 'successfully' burying all the funding on the frontline with the help of Russian Defense Ministry.Russia has repeatedly warned the US and other NATO member states that no amount of weapons shipped to the Kiev regime will change the ultimate outcome of the special military operation, while any military equipment transferred to Ukraine is a legitimate target for Russia’s forces. Thus, billions of dollars of military equipment donated by NATO to Ukraine have gone up in smoke. In response, the Kiev regime has to pull the Western armored vehicles back, as they are top-priority targets for the Russian army.

New NATO Facility in Poland to Repair Tanks From Ukraine
15:40 GMT 28.07.2023 (Updated: 17:48 GMT 28.07.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - NATO intends to construct a new facility in the city of Rzeszow in southeastern Poland, a Canadian newspaper reported on Friday, citing Canadian and Polish officials familiar with the matter.
The compound, which will be located off the city and less than 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Ukrainian border, is expected to serve as a maintenance hub for NATO military equipment rather than a full-scale military base, the sources told the Canadian news outlet.
"We are going to establish a maintenance center in partnership with the US and the UK. No intent to have a large Canadian presence," an unnamed Canadian official said, adding that the facility's main role would be to repair tanks and other armored vehicles
supplied to Ukraine by the NATO allies.
No Canadian military personnel would be stationed in Rzeszow long-term with their families, the source noted.
In mid-June, Polish envoy to NATO Tomasz Szatkowski said that
Warsaw and Berlin were planning to set up a repair center for
German-made Leopard battle tanks in Poland's southern city of Gliwice in the near future. However, in mid-July, media reported that Germany intended to
withdraw from the project due to Warsaw's inflated expectations regarding maintenance payments.
In early June, Ukraine launched its
much-hyped counteroffensive, which has turned out to be an
absolute disaster. The Kiev regime have been suffering heavy losses in troops and NATO-supplied weapons. The US-led military bloc has provided Ukraine with armored vehicles and munition for enormous sums of money, while Zelensky's generals have been 'successfully' burying all the funding on the frontline with the help of
Russian Defense Ministry.
Russia has repeatedly warned the US and other NATO member states that no amount of weapons shipped to the Kiev regime will change the ultimate outcome of the special military operation, while any military equipment transferred to Ukraine is a legitimate target for Russia’s forces. Thus, billions of dollars of military equipment donated by NATO to Ukraine have gone up in smoke. In response, the Kiev regime has to
pull the Western armored vehicles back, as they are top-priority targets for the Russian army.
