According to him, tanks will become a target for the Russian army, like all previous armored vehicles, which is why there was a shortage. And in general, these tanks will not solve anything, Pushilin emphasized, adding that Russia has serious countermeasures.
Recall that earlier the US authorities announced that they would transfer more than 30 M1 Abrams tanks to Kyiv, Germany confirmed that it would send 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. Other countries announced similar measures.
As Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said, Moscow is ready to study any serious initiatives to resolve the Ukraine crisis, but no one has formulated them yet. In the conditions when the United States and its vassals decided to send tanks to Ukraine, it no longer makes sense to talk not only with the Ukrainian authorities, “but also with their puppeteers.”
