According to RIA Novosti, he stressed that the tanks supplied by the West to Ukraine would become "a target for the Russian army, like all previous armored vehicles."

“Our side has serious countermeasures,” Pushilin said.

On January 27, the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov said that the degree of tension in the situation around Ukraine is increasing against the background of the supply of weapons and military equipment by Western countries to the Kyiv regime.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stressed that the supply of tanks by the West to Ukraine will not change the situation in favor of Kyiv.
