Russian state media have issued a series of alarming reports in the past twenty-four hours suggesting that the power struggle between NATO and Russia over Ukraine is becoming more direct.
A commander of the Russian armed forces operating in the direction of Zaporizhzhya told RIA Novosti that a Russian crew destroyed a Leopard tank that was transferred to Ukraine. It was reportedly manned by members of the German Armed Forces.
This is the video of the deadly German tank attack.
“When we stopped their next “meat assault”, we destroyed the leopard and switched to a burn technique in the hope of “holding the tongue”. And they found that the mechanic of the tank driver was seriously injured, while that the rest died. The mechanic, when he woke up and saw us, started shouting ‘nicht shissen’ (don’t shoot. — Ed. )”, — said the group commander.
The Russian operator emphasized that he knows German well.
“(The man) said several times that he was not a mercenary, but a Bundeswehr soldier and the entire crew of the same company,” the fighter added.
The Russian scout clarified that when the German soldier was first arrested, he named his brigade and its location. As the commander added, when he interrogated the Bundeswehr fighter, the doctor of his reconnaissance group said that the mechanic had lost a lot of blood and the wound was serious.
“I asked the dock how much longer he would live, and the dock replied: a few more minutes. I told the German that the wound was too heavy and that he had no chance of surviving. He said that he loves his son very much and his wife and regrets that he agreed to go here. We began to prepare him for evacuation, but he disconnected and after a couple of minutes “switched” (“cargo 200” – lost in hostilities. – Ed. ) “- told Legend.
As the commander of the reconnaissance group shared, at first he was a little surprised to find the German in a broken car.
“But then I was glad that regardless of which crew sits in Leopard: Ukrainian militants or German military personnel, the result will be one: German tanks will burn and Americans will also burn, even if they are controlled by Americans” . pointed out the Russian scout.
He appealed to the Western powers to think twice before going to participate in the battles of the Armed Forces.
“Think of your children, ladies, before you fight the Russians,” said the scout.
Last spring, Moscow sent a note to NATO countries because of their provision of military assistance to Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly pointed out that any cargo containing weapons for Kiev will become a legitimate target for the military.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also said that the United States and the alliance are directly involved in the conflict, not only with arms transfers, but also with training in the UK, Germany, Italy and other countries .
Russian media also reported a strike on an American-made MRAP on Saturday. The special forces unit of the “Ottoman” army reported that it hit the American armored car MRAP International MaxxPro in the area of the village of Verbovoi in the direction of Zaporizhzhya, as the corresponding video from RIA Novosti allegedly shows.
The US delivered MRAP International MaxxPro armored vehicles to Ukraine as part of military assistance packages. Last Friday, the Ministry of Defense reported that the Armed Forces attacked the positions of the Armed Forces near the villages of Rabotino and Verbovoi in the Zaporizhzhya region, destroying up to twenty Ukrainian servicemen.
On Thursday, President Joe Biden announced that the US will provide Ukraine with an additional $325 million in military aid after a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The aid package includes air defense capabilities, cluster munitions, anti-tank weapons and other military equipment.
“Today I approved the next tranche of US security assistance to Ukraine, which includes more artillery, more ammunition, more anti-tank weapons, and next week, the first US Abrams tanks will be delivered to Ukraine,” Biden said . “We also focused on strengthening Ukraine’s air defense capabilities to protect critical infrastructure that provides heat and light during the coldest and darkest days of the year.”
Zelensky recently traveled to Washington DC to implore Congress for an additional $24 billion in aid. It would be the 46th aid package to Ukraine since the Russian invasion.
The US Congress has not voted for a declaration of war against Russia, but the United States may be dragged into a war against the nuclear-armed power because of its involvement in the proxy war.
