Tanks previously used by the Danish military are to be prepared and sent to Ukraine, broadcaster DR reported on Tuesday.
No specific number for the total number of tanks has been confirmed and the participating countries not specified.
But a three-figure number of older models could be donated once contributions from all countries are added up, according to the report.
A newer version of the tank, the Leopard 2 model, is currently used by the Danish military.
