The largest German news agency DPA reports that there is an "informal" agreement between the NATO member countries on the impossibility of supplying certain types of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine. Members of the alliance fear that the provision of tanks and combat aircraft to Kiev, for example, may be regarded by Moscow as direct NATO intervention in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In this case, as Russian President Vladimir Putin warned, an immediate retaliatory strike against Western countries may follow.

As it was confirmed in Brussels on Wednesday in alliance circles, the risk of direct military confrontation between NATO countries and Russia should be minimized

— DPA quotes the words of a source from NATO.

This position, according to the agency, confirms Poland's refusal to supply Kiev with Soviet-made MiG-29 fighters. The existence of an informal restriction on the provision of heavy equipment can also be explained by the delay of the German leadership in resolving the issue of the supply of Leopard tanks to Ukraine.

At the same time, NATO believes that each country that is part of the alliance has the right to independently make decisions on providing military assistance to the Kiev regime. But the participating countries fear that in such a situation, Russia may declare war on individual states that are most actively supplying weapons to Ukraine. And it is not a fact that the other partners in the military bloc will support the culprit of the conflict with Moscow in this case.

The West fears that the "unpredictability" of Putin and his entourage may at any moment lead to Moscow ceasing to turn a blind eye to unprecedented military support for Ukraine. And then the European countries will have to answer alone for their anti-Russian actions.

For example, on the eve of the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov posted a video on his telegram channel in which he openly promised Poland that if Warsaw continues to "play to the tune of the West and America," it "will not lead to good."

What is Poland trying to achieve? After Ukraine, if there is a team, we will show you what we are capable of in six seconds. Better take your weapons, your mercenaries and ask for an official apology for our ambassador. We just won't leave it, keep in mind

— as always, Kadyrov spoke out sharply and frankly.

In such a situation, European leaders from the anti-Russian bloc are forced to calculate all the risks associated with supporting Ukraine. And that is why they have refrained from providing Kiev with some types of weapons. Although, as DPA writes, the situation may change and "it cannot be ruled out that at some point Western tanks and fighters will arrive in Ukraine."
