In the little more than a year since Putin began his full-scale invasion of Ukraine and it hasn’t quite gone as planned. Russian troops failed to take the capital Kyiv, facing extraordinary resistance from Ukrainians.

From the beginning of the war until now, one striking observation stands out: the Russian armed forces, who were expected to be a formidable power, have suffered significant losses in terms of manpower and equipment, and nowhere are these devastating losses more obvious than Russia’s supply of tanks.

As of early April, experts estimate that Russian tank losses exceed 2,000 vehicles in 14 months, while Ukrainian officials put the figure even higher. How on earth does someone like Putin allow such a situation to unfold, and is there a chance Russia could bounce back from these immense losses? Let’s find out.

“The success of Ukrainians in defending themselves against Russian aggression is definitely an antidote to other aggressions. The world needs to see that a free people can defend freedom from invaders. We can do it, and so can others, if they act as boldly, as accurately and as well as together with other free nations.

Today, I held a meeting of the Chief of Staff. The commanders of operational areas, the Chief of Defence, and the heads of intelligence all reported. By the way, Budanov’s and Lytvynenko’s reports were particularly thorough and relevant, and we will take certain steps based on them - steps that will strengthen our defence.

There were also reports on the training of our new units, on the supply of ammunition. I held a meeting with the Minister of Strategic Industries on ammunition... There is good news on this issue. Of course, now is not the time to make it public.

[Also read: It is important for the world to know about every fact of Russian terror, - Zelenskyy]

He also held several security meetings with government officials.

The first meeting was on demining in Ukraine. As of now, more than 170,000 square kilometres of our territory are contaminated with mines and unexploded ordnance. In general, this is estimated in terms of time rather unpleasantly - they say it will take decades to deal with such a threat. We have to do it much faster. We are also preparing a special system of actions that will allow us to demine the new territory faster after de-occupation. We are also actively working with partners to increase our capabilities. In terms of equipment, training of sappers and pyrotechnics... We will cooperate with everyone in the world who has experience, who has technology, who has the financial capacity to support us to make Ukraine clear of Russian mines again.

And another meeting, the security meeting, which I held today, concerns the development of a fundamental, new security concept for Ukraine. We will comprehensively answer all the security issues of the country. At the legislative level, at the level of government decisions, in specific practical issues... From border protection to new security conditions for schools, from the infrastructure foundations of economic security to a real opportunity to guarantee our people the kind of protection from terror that the most advanced countries in the world have. All this will be presented. All this will be implemented,” Zelenskyy said. Source: https://censor.net/en/v3417108
