Kremlin says any new weapons deliveries to Ukraine will not affect Russia achieving its goals

BY A STAFF REPORTER: Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday that any new deliveries of heavy weapons to Kyiv "will not change anything" in regards to Russia achieving its goals in Ukraine. His comments come as NATO partners gather in Germany Friday for a key meeting focusing on military aid for Kyiv. "The consequences will be with a minus sign, definitely. We have repeatedly said that such deliveries will not fundamentally change anything, but will only add problems to Ukraine," Peskov said. He added that the importance of weapons deliveries to Kyiv "should not be exaggerated in terms of the ability to change something." "All these tanks need both maintenance and repair, and so on and so forth, so this will add problems to Ukraine, but will not change anything in terms of the progress of the Russian side in achieving its goals," Peskov said.
