The United States and Germany have announced that they will provide main battle tanks to Ukraine one after another.
In Russia, however, there is widespread criticism.
On the 25th, the German government announced that it would provide the tank "Leopard 2" to Ukraine, which Russia continues to invade, and also indicated a policy to allow countries with this tank to provide it to Ukraine.
US President Biden also announced on the 25th that he would provide the main battle tank "Abrams".
Various media outlets in Russia reported extensively on this matter, and on the 26th, the government-affiliated "Russian newspaper" published a contribution by Deputy Speaker of the Senate Kosachev.
In it, Vice-President Kosachev criticized Germany for giving in to American pressure and committing the mistake of abandoning its post-war peace policy.
Kosachev argued that ``Prime Minister Scholz may have tried to save his face, but not only Germany's historical achievements but also Europe's civilized and peaceful future could be lost.''
In addition, the influential newspaper "Vedmosti" conveyed the view that the United States and Germany were forced to change their policies so as not to cause the division of NATO = North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
In addition, he also reports the expert's claim that "it will not lead to a turnaround in the war situation."
An American think tank, the Institute for War Studies, has analyzed that the Russian side sees the supply of tanks as a threat.
