Russia: Western tanks will “burn” if they are delivered to Ukraine
Western tanks will “burn out” if they are put on Ukrainethe Kremlin said on Wednesday before learning of Germany’s decision to supply Leopard 2 tanks.
The West “overestimates the potential that (tanks) can give the Ukrainian army,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
“These tanks will burn like all the others. They are too expensive,” he stressed, also hinting at the possible supply of armored vehicles to Ukraine from the United States.
In recent days, the Kremlin has reacted ambiguously to the intentions of Kyiv’s allies to supply Leopard tanks. Peskov said this week that the possible delivery of German tanks to Ukraine would leave “an indelible mark” on the future of relations between Berlin and Moscow.
Earlier, he said that Western weapons were handed over Ukraine they will only serve to continue the conflict and the suffering of civilians in Ukraine. (According to EFE and Europapress)
