Western tanks 'direct involvement' in conflict: Kremlin

After Berlin and Washington approved the weapons for Kyiv

26 January, 12:08
(ANSA-AFP) - MOSCOW, JAN 26 - The Kremlin said Thursday that a decision by Western countries to supply Ukraine with modern tanks meant that they were party to the conflict, after Berlin and Washington approved the weapons for Kyiv. "European capitals and Washington constantly give statements that sending various types of weapons, including tanks, in no way means their involvement in hostilities. We strongly disagree with this. In Moscow, this is perceived as direct involvement in the conflict and we see that this is growing," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. (ANSA-AFP).
