The Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, confirmed that the United States' delivery of tanks to the Kyiv regime would become "another flagrant provocation" against Russia, warning that the Russian army would destroy this equipment.
Sputnik quoted Antonov as saying in a statement posted on the Telegram website: “If the United States decides to supply Kyiv with tanks, it will be impossible to justify such a step using arguments about defensive weapons, and this will be another flagrant provocation against the Russian Federation,” explaining that if a decision is made to transfer Abrams tanks to Kyiv American tanks will undoubtedly be destroyed, along with the destruction of all other samples of NATO military equipment.
“No one should have illusions about who is the real aggressor in the current conflict,” Antonov added, noting that the United States is deliberately trying to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia and giving the green light to use its military aid in the attacks on Crimea.
Antonov noted that an increasing number of officials and experts in America are admitting that it is all about the American proxy war against our country.
US media reported yesterday that US President Joe Biden will announce the delivery of about 50 Abrams tanks to Ukraine today.
Western countries have recently intensified their military support for Ukraine, while Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned that any arms shipments on Ukrainian territory would be legitimate targets for Russian forces.
