Russia: American tanks will also burn
Kremlin spokesman Dmitriy Peskov stated that the effect of the Abrams tanks that the US plans to send to Ukraine should not be magnified: “These tanks will burn like the others. However, they are very expensive and the price will mainly be paid by European taxpayers,” he said.
Speaking to reporters in the capital Moscow, Peskov assessed the possible US shipment of Abrams tanks to Ukraine. Noting that many experts found the shipment “absurd” from a technical point of view, Peskov said: “This plan is a failed plan for technological reasons and, most importantly, the potential that it will add to the Ukrainian Armed Forces is clearly exaggerated.” “
Saying that the cost of the Abrams tanks will be borne by the Europeans, Peskov said: “These tanks will burn like the others. However, they are very expensive and the cost will be borne mainly by European taxpayers. “The Americans will make good profits, as always,” he said.
The United States is expected to announce its decision to send Abrams-type main battle tanks to Ukraine soon. (AA)
