Peskov called the idea of ​​supplying Abrams and Leopard tanks to Ukraine a failure

“I am convinced that many experts understand the absurdity of this idea too.

It’s just that in terms of technological aspects, this plan is quite a failure, and most importantly, this is a clear overestimation of the potential that this will add to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, ”he said.

The Wall Street Journal, citing US officials, previously reported that the US administration is leaning towards transferring "significant numbers" of M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine.

Politico, citing officials, wrote that the United States could send about 30 Abrams tanks to the Ukrainian army.

Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov called the possible delivery of American Abrams tanks to Ukraine "a blatant provocation" and also warned that the Russian military would destroy them.
