Kremlin reacts to Dnipro apartment building attack and threatens consequences for supplying tanks to Ukraine

Press secretary of Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, stated this, according to Russian mass media.

"We assess and perceive it very negatively (supply of tanks, - ed.). Here we do not hide our attitude. Great Britain, other European countries - Poland, etc., which are now talking about their intentions to organize a new round of supplying new, more advanced technological military equipment for Ukraine - are not capable of changing the situation on the spot. They must understand this. They are capable of dragging out the whole situation, causing more trouble to the state of Ukraine," he said.

In addition, he commented on the attack on the residential building in Dnipro.

"Russian military does not strike residential buildings and objects of social infrastructure in Ukraine. Strikes are aimed at military targets. Tragedy in Dnipro was the result of Ukrainian Air Defense Forces’ work," Peskov said.

• On Saturday, January 14, Russian troops attacked Dnipro city, as a result of which a part of a nine-story residential building was destroyed. As of 1:00 р.m. Monday, bodies of 40 dead people were recovered from the rubble of a high-rise building in Dnipro city, destroyed by the Russian missile attack on January 14.

• Prime Minister of Great Britain Rishi Sunak confirmed during a telephone conversation with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy that his country will provide Ukraine with Challenger 2 tanks.
