Russian Duma warns West not to supply tanks to Ukraine

The Deputy State Duma of Russia

Mikhail Sheremet, warned that the supply of German tanks to Ukraine would be considered a hostile step, forcing the Russian army to resort to much stronger weapons in the special operation.

Earlier :

• NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said

• he was confident that allies would soon reach

• an agreement on the supply of tanks

• including Germany's "Leopard", to Ukraine.

The delivery of German tanks to Ukraine would be a military step

and this would give our military the right to use much stronger weapons in the special operation, which the enemy does not even know," Sheremet said.

According to him

NATO is stubbornly pushing European countries to

open a military confrontation with Russia

saying :

• The United States is ready to abandon not only Ukraine

• but also the European Union to realize its ambitions

• and achieve economic and political gains.

We see the Germans resisting pressure because

they remember how their recent military offensive against Russia ended.

Germany has so far refrained from delivering

"Leopard 2"

tanks to Ukraine, but in recent days pressure on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has increased markedly, and several EU Heads of State have publicly called for a decision on the deliveries.
