Former US President Donald Trump is concerned that the move by Western countries to send tanks to Kyiv could trigger a nuclear conflict.
“First the tanks will come, then the nukes. End this insane war, now. It’s so easy to do!” Trump wrote on his social platform Truth on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the German government confirmed that it would send 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and gave permission for re-export to other countries as well. US President Joe Biden later announced Washington’s plans to provide 31 Abrams tanks to Kyiv.
Biden said the decision was not about the fight against Russia, but about “freedom.” In addition, the American president claimed that the supply of tanks do not mean “offensive threat to Russia”.
