The Kremlin warned on Friday that a possible agreement on sending battle tanks to Ukraine within the framework of the NATO Ukraine Contact Group summit at the Ramstein base in Germany would have «negative» consequences and stressed that «they would not change anything».
«The consequences would be negative, definitely,» Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said, Russian news agency TASS has reported. «We have repeatedly said that these supplies would not change anything fundamentally, but would add problems to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,» he has stressed.
Thus, he has asked «not to exaggerate the importance of these supplies in terms of their ability to change anything» and has argued that «specialists are well aware of the problems accompanying these deliveries.» «All these tanks need maintenance, repairs and so on,» he added.
Peskov therefore stressed that this decision «will add problems to Ukraine and will not change anything in terms of Russia’s progress in achieving its goals,» although he acknowledged that the conflict is «on an upward spiral» due to the growing «indirect and sometimes direct» involvement of NATO countries.
The Russian presidential spokesman 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 for improvement in the near future.»
