Moscow, 3 August 2022 (MIA) – Russia believes the decision of authorities in North Macedonia to donate tanks T-72 to Ukraine is a big mistake, said Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Maria Zakharova. Although the equipment is outdated, Zakharova said, the donation provides support “for continuation of the criminal activities of the Kiev regime.” “Despite ‘the harmless’ donation of outdated equipment, as claimed by the northmacedonian authorities, the fact remains that the NATO-loyal Skopje is involved in arms delivery to Ukraine, which contributes to the continuation of the criminal activity of the Kiev regime against the civilian population in Donbas. People who preach democracy, freedom and human rights should know this. All of this leads to further deterioration of the situation. We believe this is a big mistake by the leadership of North Macedonia,” said Zakharova in a statement on the MFA website.
