A possible supply of American Abrams tanks to Ukraine is an egregious provocation against the Russian Federation, the Ambassador of Russia to the United States Anatoly Antonov believes. The ambassadors of the ambassador are given by the Russian media.
According to Antonov, American tanks, like other NATO equipment, will be destroyed by Russian armed forces.
“There is no doubt that if a decision is made to transfer M1 Abrams to Kyiv, American tanks will be destroyed by our military in the same way as all other samples of NATO equipment are destroyed,” Antonov said.
The ambassador noted that the Americans are constantly raising the “bar” of military assistance to the allies, indicating that the United States is purposefully trying to inflict a strategic defeat.
It is expected that US President Joe Biden will announce the supply of Abrams tanks to Kyiv on Wednesday, January 25. Sending these machines to Ukraine is a condition under which Germany is ready to unlock the transfer of Leopard tanks to Kyiv. According to media reports, 12 countries are ready to supply Ukraine with 100 Leopard 2 tanks 2. Rheinmetall is ready to send 139 Leopard tanks to Kyiv.
