Russia says possible tank shipment to Ukraine would be "negative" and "wouldn't change anything"

MADRID, 20 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Kremlin has warned this Friday that a possible agreement to send battle tanks to Ukraine within the framework of the NATO Contact Group for Ukraine summit at the Ramstein base in Germany would have "negative" consequences and He has stressed that "they would not change anything".

"The consequences would definitely be negative," Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov said, according to the Russian news agency TASS. "We have repeatedly said that these supplies will not fundamentally change anything, but they will add problems to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people," he stressed.

Thus, he has asked "not to exaggerate the importance of these supplies in relation to their ability to change anything" and has argued that "specialists are very aware of the problems that accompany these deliveries." "All those tanks need maintenance, repairs and so on," he added.

For this reason, Peskov has emphasized that this decision "will add problems to Ukraine and will not change anything in relation to Russia's progress in achieving its objectives", although he has recognized that the conflict is "in an upward spiral". due to the increasing "indirect and sometimes direct" involvement of NATO countries.

The spokesman for the Russian Presidency has also said that the two years of Joe Biden's Presidency in the United States "have been very bad for bilateral relations." "Bilateral relations are probably at their lowest point in history, unfortunately," he lamented, while stressing that "there is no hope of improvement in the near future."
