Russian President Vladimir Putin said his nation’s troops are still experiencing some weapons shortages despite increases in production demands.

Before a meeting of Russia’s Military-Industrial Commission on Wednesday, Mr. Putin confirmed that the country had met all of its defense production goals last year. However, those goals may not have been enough, with Mr. Putin adding that some Russian military members lack the necessary equipment.

So, he will increase the goal. This is not a win for Ukraine as you most likely believe it to be.

Ukraine wiped out Russia’s largest ammo depot yesterday and it’s still burning today.

Ukraine is bleeding to death. Wiping out an ammo depot does not save Ukraine or stop the bleeding.

Putin complied with President Trump’s Easter ceasefire demand for 30 hours.

Russia has a weapons shortage?

Maybe the US should send them some.

(Not kidding)

Gee, Putin failed to realize how many Uke GloboHomoPedoNazis needed Killing in Ukraine, and now with you Zeepers personally flocking to The Front, Saint Zelensky will have a pile of Uke Bodies and US Dollars high enough that he can climb to Heaven!

Putin’s Mosin-Nagants not stronk vs. Ukrainian FPV’s.

Is there any advantage to Putin by the US walking away?

You going to go with that, clownusmaximus?

Jeebus, FR trolls like marcus and The Gaytor have no shame.

Oh no! Back to raiding chips from washing machines, I guess. They’ve met their goals. They are now upping the goals. Where on the battlefield are these shortages manifesting themselves? Just one more lie and the Russians will buckle, then on to Moscow and Huzzah!
