Written byTimes Magazine
Washington's potential main battle tank supplies to Ukraine will be "another flagrant provocation" against Russia, Anatoly Antonov, Russia's ambassador to the United States, said on Wednesday (January 25).
"It is evident that Washington is deliberately trying to inflict a strategic defeat on us," Antonov said in comments posted on the embassy's messaging app Telegram. This would be another blatant provocation against the Russian Federation. The United States should do so announced on Wednesday that it would send heavy tanks to Ukraine.
