According to him, the decision to supply tanks to Ukraine is ‘an act of grave stupidity’. Peter Hitchens also criticised British MPs who ‘did not oppose the move’.

“There is the real possibility that a large chunk of Europe might be turned into a radioactive graveyard,” the observer said.

Moreover, Peter Hitchens expressed the opinion that following Washington’s policy regarding the Ukrainian conflict is not in the interests of London.

“The sane and decent foreign policy for any outside power is to help push the parties into a lasting compromise. <...> Instead, we send tanks. It is as if the fire brigade went about starting fires,” he concluded.

Earlier, it became known that Germany is ready to transfer to Ukraine from the stocks of the Bundeswehr no more than 19 old Leopard tanks. Currently, this technique is used only in exercises to simulate the enemy.
