During a recent press briefing, the spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, was asked about the potential impact of new weapon supplies to Ukraine on the ongoing conflict. In response, Peskov stated that such deliveries would not change the essence or outcome of the operation. He emphasized that there is no panacea or single type of weapon that can alter the balance of power on the battlefield.
While acknowledging that the Abrams tanks sent to Ukraine are significant weaponry, Peskov expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of other tanks, suggesting that they may be vulnerable to destruction. He also highlighted the seriousness of long-range missiles promised by Washington.
The Kremlin representative claimed that the Americans are further involving themselves in the Ukrainian conflict, but Russian military forces are enhancing their skills to counter these missile threats.
Yesterday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the arrival of Abrams tanks in Ukraine. However, German General Klaus Wittmann previously stated on Welt TV that the American tanks, which the United States plans to transfer to Ukraine soon, would not help the Ukrainian Armed Forces alter the situation on the battlefield.
Earlier, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, deemed negotiations with Ukraine meaningless.
This statement from Peskov highlights the ongoing tensions between Russia and the United States in the context of the Ukraine conflict. It emphasizes Russia’s skepticism towards the effectiveness of US military support to Ukraine and suggests that Russian forces are prepared to counter any potential threats. The arrival of Abrams tanks in Ukraine is seen as a significant development, but doubts remain about their ability to change the course of the conflict.
