President Vladimir Putin says Russia is being threatened by German tanks, like during World War II, speaking at an event marking the Soviet victory over Nazi forces in Stalingrad.
“It’s unbelievable but true. We are again being threatened by German Leopard tanks,” Putin says, adding that Russia has an “answer” to any country that threatens it.
