He said this at a concert in honor of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Stalingrad.

“Unbelievable, but true: we are again threatened by German Leopard tanks with crosses on board.

And again they are going to fight with Russia on the land of Ukraine with the hands of the last of Hitler, with the hands of Bandera, ”he said.

According to him, Russia does not send its tanks to the borders of Western countries, but it has something to answer. 

The President added that the use of armored vehicles in this case will not end.

Putin also said that the ideology of Nazism in its modern guise creates a threat to the security of Russia. 

Earlier, Chairman of the State Duma of Russia Vyacheslav Volodin said that Leopard tanks in Ukraine would be burned, repeating the fate of the fascist Tiger.
