Germany's decision to send [[Leopard 2]] tanks to [[Ukraine]] is extremely dangerous and takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation, the Russian Embassy in [[Berlin]] said on January 25, 2023.  The embassy said Germany was abandoning its “historical responsibility to Russia” arising from [[Nazi]] [[war crimes]] in [[World War Two]].  The embassy said that the decision would escalate the conflict to a new level.  “This extremely dangerous decision takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation and contradicts the statements of German politicians about the unwillingness of the Federal Republic of Germany to be drawn into it,” Ambassador Sergey Nechayev said.
