Konstantin Gavrilov, the head of the Russian delegation to the Vienna Negotiations on Military Security and Arms Control, warned on the same day: “We know that Leopard 2 tanks, as well as Bradley and Marder armored fighting vehicles, can use [[depleted uranium]] shells, which can contaminate terrain, just like it happened in [[Yugoslavia]] and [[Iraq]]...If [[Kiev]] were to be supplied with such munitions for the use in western heavy military hardware, we would regard it as the use of ‘[[dirty nuclear bomb]]s’ against [[Russia]], with all the consequences that entails.”<ref>https://www.theinteldrop.org/2023/01/25/russia-warns-ukraine-against-using-partially-depleted-uranium-shells/</ref>

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman [[Maria Zakharova]] responded to Scholz decision when she implored German leaders “not to make the same mistakes of the German ancestors, that the German people paid a huge price for.” Staring directly into the camera at a press conference, Zakharova addressed the German people: “The day that it was allowed that Leopard tanks should be sent to Ukraine is historical because it has cemented the thing that we talked about, that Germany has completely lost [[sovereignty]]. And Scholz has just signed the loss of independent German foreign policy forever.”<ref>[https://consortiumnews.com/2023/01/31/scott-ritter-germany-in-danger-of-forgetting-its-history/ SCOTT RITTER: Germany Risks Forgetting Its History], January 31, 2023.
