Well, according to these two sites it sounds very much like the Ukraine has received within the last week an unspecified number of PT-91 Twardy tanks. The following taken is from ref. 2 below.

"Last week, Jarosław Wolski reported that Poland had delivered PT-91 Twardy tanks to Ukraine. "We certainly won't send 230 Hard, or at least I haven't heard anything about it. On the other hand, we sent Twarde, in a significant number. The wagons reached the Ukrainians. But these are things that should simply come from the Ukrainians," he said."

Looks like Poland had originally asked the U.S. for 300 M1A1 tanks. They reduced that to 118 units due to maintenace and support costs.

So, there is our connection to the K2. Due the size of the deal as I've already posted this past week with South Korea, to my thinking this might "kill" or further delay beyond our time horizon the M1A2P.

We'll as ALREADY discussed just have to wait out the M1A2P outcome "one way or another" as to a final decision.

I had to use my translator (MS) for ref. 2.
