Amid reports of U.S. officials confirming that President Joe Biden's administration would imminently announce the decision to supply Ukraine with up to 30 M1A2 Abrams, Russian ambassador to the U.S. Anatoly Antonov said, APA reports citing Newsweek.

According to him, advanced tanks would be destroyed alongside other Western military aid.

"Throughout the Ukrainian crisis, the administration repeatedly used the technique of publishing information in the media on the eve of significant deliveries of weapons and equipment to the Kyiv regime," said Antonov.

"An analysis of the entire sequence of Washington's actions shows that the Americans are constantly raising the "bar" of military assistance to their puppet government," Antonov said. "This is especially clear when the Russian armed forces gain new victories...".

"If a decision to transfer to Kiev M1 Abrams is made," the Russian envoy said, "American tanks without any doubt will be destroyed as all other samples of NATO military equipment."
