The US and Germany are preparing to supply Ukraine with numerous tanks, to strengthen the military capacity of Kiev, which has been at war against Russian troops for almost a year.
From what has transpired, the Washington government is ready to send the Ukrainian army some Abrams M1s , the spearhead of military equipment with stars and stripes, while Berlin will supply Kiev with Leopard -type tanks.
For its part, Moscow assures that this new Western support will not bring "anything good" (the Kremlin's Foreign Minister Lavrov has even raised the specter of a "catastrophe" ).
"The Russian armed forces will destroy US-made M1 Abrams tanks and other NATO military equipment if they are supplied to Ukraine," assured the Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov , stressing that Washington wants to inflict a " strategic defeat".
Instead, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the allies to hurry: "Regarding the modern tanks we need, discussions must end now with decisions," said the Kiev leader in his latest video message.
Meanwhile, the Russian Navy has carried out an exercise in the Atlantic Ocean with a Tsirkon hypersonic missile.
According to army leaders, the crew of the Admiral Gorshkov frigate "practiced hitting a target simulating an enemy warship at a distance of more than 900 kilometers with a Tsirkon hypersonic missile".
