The West has no “wonder weapon” to radically change the situation in the conflict in Ukraine, Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechaev said.
“As the course of hostilities has shown, the West does not have any 'Wunderwaffe' capable of radically changing the situation on the battlefield, be it heavy tanks, air defense systems, MLRS or howitzers,” Nechaev said in an interview with Sputnik.
He said the Russian Armed Forces and defense industry quickly adapt to new challenges and always find an effective response.
“Do German politicians believe in Ukraine's victory? I am convinced that there are fewer and fewer of them. But they are not yet able to leave the paradigm of a 'change of eras' and inflicting a 'strategic defeat' upon Russia,” Nechaev said.
Russia earlier sent a note to NATO because of arms supply to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said any cargo that contains weapons for Ukraine will become a legitimate target for Russia.
Russia has been conducting a special military operation in Ukraine since February 24, 2022. President Vladimir Putin has said the operation aims to "protect people subjected to genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years." According to the president, the ultimate goal of the operation is to liberate Donbas and create conditions that guarantee Russia's security.
