"Could give more": Zelensky was indignant

The Armed Forces, according to the President, require heavy equipment for defense operations, so there is no referred to the Ukrainian army into the territory of Russia. Transferring 10-50 tanks to Ukraine will not radically solve the situation on the front, since there are hundreds of units of armored vehicles at Russia.

"You have to clearly understand: when a Russian army that has a thousand tanks against us . . .

There is simply no one to fight, they are afraid, they are unmotivated and it is a plus us. But when they have a thousand tanks, no country with the decision they give us 10-- 20-50 tanks will not solve the problem, "-continued the head of state, criticizing the position of Germany, which puts forward additional conditions during the discussion of a possible departure of the LEOPARD 2. Batch of Tanks 2. According to Zelensky, Ukraine needs heavy weapons to carry out defense situations.

The President assured that the technician transferred to the allies will not enter the territory of the Russian Federation, since official Kyiv is not interested in this. Separately, Zelensky suggested that Germany agrees to hand over to Ukraine some weapons after the United States is declaring new military assistance. "Have you (Appeal to Chancellor Olaf Sholtz - ed. ) Are these Leopard or you have a rhetoric competition? If there is Leopard - give.

Americans gave 20 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles in the package, the Germans gave Marder - 20. But after the statement about the tanks, they say, "how much do you give, so many I will give," So you could give Marder more, and just gave 20 because the Americans gave 20 BMP Bradley? " - the head of state asked the question in an interview.
