World Intelligence Services Estimate Probability Of New Attack On Kyiv

The Spanish defense minister has warned the Ukrainian authorities.

Despite the recent decision not to provide Ukraine with slightly outdated Leopard tanks, Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles made a new statement about the country's readiness to sell "new modern tanks" but did not specify which ones. Moreover, the official warned of the likelihood of a new Kremlin offensive, particularly against Kyiv, Anadolu writes.

"Intelligence services around the world warn that Putin's attacks could return to Kyiv or any other part of Ukraine," she said, noting that the theater of military operations has changed, referring to the current situation in eastern Ukraine.

Robles confirms that the Russian government will "undoubtedly" use "natural gas as a weapon of war" and called for "solidarity and unity" in Spain and the EU.

"It will be a long, hard and brutal war, similar to the wars of the 20th century, like World War I or World War II," she said. - This winter is going to be hard."

Robles also announces that "Ukraine seeks to purchase new modern tanks from Spain and other countries," and that Madrid has already offered relevant exercises to master potentially transferred equipment for the AFU.

As a reminder, Poland will provide Ukraine 232 PT-91 tanks when it receives US Abrams tanks as replacements.

Meanwhile, Germany will transfer sixteen bridge-laying tanks to Ukraine.
