Browsing: Leopard tanks

Russian Minister of Internal Affairs Vladimir Kolokoltsev said on Wednesday that, the modern Leopard tanks, which will be shipped to Ukraine, will be destroyed just like their predecessors, Tigers and Panthers, were destroyed during World War II. According to the Minister, descendants of those who liberated world from Nazism preserve the historical memory of the crimes of Hitler’s forces and their henchmen – the Banderites – in Ukraine. Kolokoltsev said, “They perfectly preserve the picture of Tigers and Panthers burning on Russian soil in the memory of the modern generation. They will remember burning modern Leopards as well” Kolokoltsev underscored…

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that he plans to visit Ukraine shortly, “probably within the next four weeks.” Talking about the supply of Leopard tanks, Pistorius said, “We are in very close dialogue on this issue with our international partners, above all with the U.S.

In an interview with media, the Ukrainian President stated that linking potential deliveries of German Leopard tanks to deliveries of American Abrams tanks is not appropriate. “We can certainly talk for another half a year, but in our country, people are dying every day. If you have Leopard tanks, give them to us,” the President appealed.
