The Kremlin said Tuesday that "nothing good" would come of German-made Leopard tanks being delivered to Ukraine, as pressure grows on Berlin sign off on deliveries of the weaponry to Kyiv.

"These deliveries would bring nothing good to the future relationship" between Berlin and Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in his daily briefing, adding: "They will leave a lasting mark."

"Such shipments do not bode well for the future of relations," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, according to the news agency Interfax.

Poland has said it intends to send its German-made tanks to Ukraine, but Berlin has not said it will do the same.

Moscow had repeatedly criticized Western arms deliveries to Ukraine as an escalation in the war.
