The Kremlin said on Monday that it was the Ukrainian people who would suffer if the West sends tanks to support Kyiv, as the question of whether Berlin will authorise Leopard tanks to be transferred to Ukraine remained unresolved.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said splits in Europe over whether to provide tanks to Kyiv showed there was "nervousness" within the NATO military alliance. He added that all countries bear responsibility for the consequences of "pumping" Ukraine with weapons.
