The White House commented on Russia’s warnings about the “red lines”

The United States is not heeding Russia’s warnings about the inadmissibility of crossing “red lines” amid the transfer of weapons to Ukraine, said John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council.

“We don’t take what they say lightly. But saying this: tanks should help Ukraine fight effectively in open space to protect their sovereignty and territories and reclaim territories,” quotes Kirby White House Press Office.

Yesterday US President Joe Biden declaredthat the actions of the West to help Ukraine do not pose a threat to Russia. According to him, Washington is helping Ukraine “to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.” At the same time, a senior official of the US administration expressed the hope that the supply of weapons would allow Kyiv to seize the lost territories, including Crimea.

Previously became knownthat the United States will transfer 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. It was decided to transfer such a number of tanks due to the fact that 31 M1 Abrams tanks are the equivalent of “one Ukrainian tank battalion”. By words presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, “these tanks will burn like the rest of Western military equipment.”
