Ukraine has received four of the eight Zuzana 2 self-propelled howitzers from Slovakia, Defense Minister of the Slovak Republic Jaroslav Nad announced.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nad posted on his Twitter that “Slovakia is helping to protect innocent Ukrainian lives! Happy to confirm that the first 4 Zuzana Howitzers are in the hands of Ukrainian armed forces, ready to be deployed in defence against the Russian aggressors.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remaining four\u00a0Zuzana self-propelled howitzers will soon be delivered to Ukraine and currently, Ukrainian servicemen are training with the Zuzana 2 howitzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ukrainian President\u2019s Office Chief Andriy Yermak also confirmed that four “Zuzana 2 self-propelled guns have arrived in Ukraine. That\u2019s 155-mm caliber for purging the territory of Ukraine of the devil\u2019s hordes under tricolor flags.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 2022, Slovakia’s Minister of Defense Jaroslav Nad stated that Slovakia had a signed contract of delivering eight Zuzana 2 self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine to effectively counter the Russian attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
