Russia has warned that any Challenger 2 tanks that Britain sends to Ukraine to help the war effort “will burn”.
British prime minister Rishi Sunak confirmed the UK will provide Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine during a call with Volodymyr Zelensky over the weekend.
Responding on Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said new arms supplies from countries like Britain and Poland would not change the situation on the ground.
“They are using this country as a tool to achieve their anti-Russian goals,” he added. “These tanks are burning and will burn just like the rest.”
Meanwhile, Russia and Belarus began joint air force drills today, which have triggered fears that Moscow could use its ally to launch a new ground offensive in Ukraine.
Belarus said its air force drills with Russia are defensive in nature, but the move comes as concerns grow that Moscow is pushing Minsk to join the war in Ukraine.
