The Kremlin has warned that Western tanks will make little difference on the ground as Ukraine’s fight to repel the Russian invasion continues.
As defence leaders from more than 50 countries meet today in Germany, President Volodymr Zelensky has called for swift military support from Ukraine’s allies.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused Ukraine’s Western allies of adhering to “the dramatic delusion” of possible Ukrainian success on the battlefield.
Referring to pledges of artillery by Western allies, Peskov told reporters: “One should not exaggerate the importance of such supplies in terms of the ability to change something,”
“This will add problems for Ukraine, but this will change nothing in terms of the Russian side advancing on the path to achieving its goals.”
