The ones they had at the beginning of the war according to the Armed forces of Ukraine Wiki page that is very carefully curated by the Uke government and US Government.
6500.... all gone.

But I’m sure another 50 or 100 will help. /s

This is your source -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_Ukraine

“At that time, the former Soviet armed forces in the Ukrainian SSR included the 43rd Rocket Army, the 5th, 14th 17th and 24th Air Armies of the Soviet Air Forces, an air-defense army (8th Air Defence Army), three regular armies, two tank armies, the 32nd Army Corps, and the Black Sea Fleet.[17] Altogether the Armed Forces of Ukraine included about 780,000 personnel, 6,500 tanks, about 7,000 combat armored vehicles, 1,500 combat aircraft, and more than 350 ships.”

This was the state of things upon the declaration of independence in 1991. That was not the state of affairs in 2014 or 2022.
