A Russian company today said it will offer five million roubles (£58,000) in cash to the first soldiers who destroy or capture Western tanks in Ukraine after the Kremlin vowed that any allied armoured vehicles shipped to Kyiv would 'burn'.

The United States, Germany and more Western allies are lining up to join Britain in sending dozens of heavy tanks to Ukraine over the next few months to help boost the country's military capacity as the war approaches the 12-month mark.

The decision by the NATO allies has been criticised by the Kremlin as a dangerous esclation, with Moscow warning the new Western supplies will 'burn like all the rest'.

Now a Russian company - Fores, a Urals-based firm which makes proppants for the energy industry - is offering cash payments to Russian servicemen who 'capture or destroy' German-made Leopard 2 or U.S.-made Abrams tanks.
