Russia says Abrams tanks and ATACMS missiles cannot help Ukraine change the situation on the battlefield

Asked about the issue at a regular press briefing, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Russian armed forces have been constantly adapting to new types of weapons that have appeared during special military operations in Ukraine.

“All this cannot affect the nature of SVO and its results. There is no panacea and no weapon that can change the balance of power on the battlefield,” he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday that US-made Abrams tanks had arrived in the country.

Ukraine has repeatedly asked the Biden administration to provide the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to help attack and disrupt supply lines, air bases and rail networks in Russian-occupied territory.

Last Friday, NBC News quoted US officials as saying that President Joe Biden informed Mr. Zelenskyy that Washington would also provide Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles.

“The United States continues to increase its direct involvement in this conflict, but of course, our military is constantly improving its skills and technical capabilities to counter these missiles,” Kremlin spokesman Peskov said.
