===Leopard tanks===
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.
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]] delivered a moving and powerful message to Sholz following his disastrous decision to open old wounds by delivering German tanks once again,<ref>[https://youtu.be/C5yXoMRUhXg Symbols of death the German tanks, Russian Foreign Ministry says], Jan. 28, 2023. YouTube.</ref> imploring 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://youtu.be/hv7yEI5YRZc Zakharova's POWERFUL Message To Olaf Scholz (EN Translated)], Jan 27, 2023.
