The US Bradly infantry fighting vehicles for Ukraine are already being unloaded at the Greek port of Alexandroupolis, BNR correspondent in Greece Katya Peeva reports, citing local media.

At the port, the 50 machines are being transferred from ships to trucks which will transport them to Ukraine. The route overland passes through Bulgaria.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has already said that the Ukrainian army needs exactly this kind of combat vehicles. The M2 Bradley armored vehicles have a crew of 3 and can carry up to 7 soldiers and have anti-tank missiles, which is why they are called "tank killers".
