like the rest'The UK government confirmed over the weekend that it would be sending heavy tanks to Kyiv, making it the first Western power to supply Ukraine with main battle tanks.
But the Kremlin has responded harshly, saying the tanks will "burn" on the battlefield, Reuters reported.
When asked about the British tanks on Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said they will not change the situation on the ground, and will only bring "more troubles" to Ukraine, Reuters reported.
"They are using [Ukraine] as a tool to achieve their anti-Russian goals," Peskov said, according to Reuters. "These tanks are burning and will burn just like the rest."

Main battle tanks should prove very helpful when UKR forces start punching away at the "land bridge"

Maybe they will but Ukrainians won't cry and run away like Russian tank drivers.

that currently links Russian held eastern Ukraine with Crimea.
Kudos to the UK.
Hopefully Leopards and Abrams follow.
