M1 Abrams tanks and other NATO weapons will be destroyed if they are delivered to Ukraine, according to Anatoly Antonov, Russia’s ambassador to the United States.
He continued by saying that it would be an outright provocation against Moscow if the US did provide Kiev with these weapons.
No one should be under the impression that they are the real aggressor in the ongoing conflict, Antonov said in a statement issued by the press office of the Russian Embassy in Washington.
