In a comment, he stated that “heavy 80-ton tanks will arrive in the country in the near future.”
Danilov also assured that the United States’ partners “do not let us down.”
However, the Politico newspaper has already cited the words of an anonymous representative of the Pentagon: the American Abrams will arrive in Ukraine in mid-September. Apparently, the information in this newspaper gave Danilov a reason to talk about the next installments.
Earlier, Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the United States and NATO of directly participating in the Ukraine conflict. He also mentioned forms of involvement, including “supplying weapons” and “training personnel… in Britain, Germany, Italy and other countries.”
