Russia Says US Battle Tanks Will 'Burn' in Ukraine, Calls It 'Waste of Money'

News - Middle East: Russia says heavy battle tanks the United States plans to send to Ukraine "will burn" in the ex-Soviet republic, dismissing the move as an expensive folly.

 

Reversing its previous position, the administration of US President Joe Biden is due to reveal plans as early as this week to send American-made M1 Abrams tanks, the world’s most powerful, to Ukraine, despite concerns that these tanks, probably numbering at least 30, are too logistically burdensome for Ukrainian forces.

After weeks of hesitations, Germany also finally agreed on Wednesday to provide Leopard 2 tanks to Kiev's troops, overcoming misgivings about sending heavy weaponry to Ukraine.

Moscow, in response, denounced the provocation, saying that while the Abrams shipments were not confirmed, they would be a waste of money.

"I am certain that many specialists understand the absurdity of this idea as well. This plan is quite a losing scheme simply for technological reasons and, importantly, it overestimates the potential it will add to the Ukrainian army. These tanks burn just like all the others," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov at a press conference later on Wednesday.

The latest development comes despite Russia's warnings that deliveries of offensive weapons to Ukraine would lead to "a global catastrophe."

"There have been a lot of contradictory statements, media reports, leaks and so on coming from Germany and the United States so far.

 It is understandable that not everything is smooth there and not everything is so smooth in the [North Atlantic] alliance and not everything is smooth with the availability of tanks," Peskov added.
