Vladimir Putin Condemns Western Tank Supply to Ukraine, Threatens a Response that Goes Beyond Armored Vehicles
By Gateway Pundit - Jim Hoft Published February 5, 2023
On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin commemorated the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the Battle of Stalingrad. During his speech, President Vladimir Putin told the United States and its allies that they can’t destroy Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.
As the delivery of Western-made tanks to Ukraine looms, Putin has fired back, warning that Moscow’s response to the threat will go far beyond armored vehicles.
It can be recalled that the Biden regime agreed to send Abrams tanks to Ukraine to fight the Russian military. (Details and arrival below)
This means the US will be forced to send men and women to operate the tanks and perform maintenance. It is the Biden regime’s attempt to escalate the war in Ukraine.
Less than 24 hours later, Germany announced they would be sending Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
The Kremlin called this move a “blatant provocation.”
“Unbelievable, but true – we are once again threatened with German Leopard tanks, with crosses on their hull. And once again seeking to battle Russia in Ukraine with the help of Hitler’s followers, the Banderites,” Putin said.
“Those who expect to win a victory against Russia on the battlefield don’t understand that modern-day war with Russia will turn out totally different for them,” he warned.
“We aren’t sending tanks to their borders, but we have the means to fight back and they won’t be limited to armor. Everyone should understand this,” he continued.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Russia’s urgent nuclear war warning comes as the Doomsday Clock moves closer than it ever has to midnight, prompting the World Health Organization to urge countries to begin stockpiling medications for “nuclear emergencies.”
The Doomsday Clock was set a minute and a half (90 seconds) before midnight on Tuesday, January 24, 2023, the closest it has ever been to midnight since the clock’s inception in 1947.
“Russia’s thinly veiled threats to use nuclear weapons remind the world that escalation of the conflict – by accident, intention or miscalculation – is a terrible risk,” said Rachel Bronson, head of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that manage the doomsday clock.
According to Daily Mail, Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, recently warned that a military defeat for Russia in Ukraine may lead to a nuclear war with the West.
Back in September, Vladimir Putin warned the West that his nuclear threat is “not a bluff.”
“To those who allow themselves to make such statements about Russia, I would like to remind you that our country also has various means of destruction, and for some components more modern than those of the NATO countries. And if the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people. It’s not a bluff,” Putin warned.
