Russia has acknowledged for the first time that it doesn't have enough equipment for mobilized soldiers in its war against Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday that there are issues with equipment for the hundreds of thousands of men being sent to fight in Ukraine under President Vladimir Putin's partial mobilization decree.
Peskov said a newly-formed council created by Putin is working on resolving problems with equipment. "Vigorous measures taken to rectify the situation are already yielding the first positive results," he said.
Regional authorities are working on providing "the missing gear," Peskov said, noting that Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov "is personally responsible for this" as part of Putin's new council.

—”It’s all been stolen and sold.”
Seen anything interesting for sale?
There was a guy in St Charles lower lever just off the river. Back 1970-1980... By reservation only.
He had EVERYTHING.
Because their grandparents suffered in the Great Patriotic War….
Don’t believe the American or European press. Often misleading and trying to prop up Biden.
If it’s the same place I’m thinking of he’s still there. But I believe it’s Geneva right by the dam. May not be the same owners.

May very well have been Geneva.
You would meet the guy at the gun show a few times then maybe you could visit inside his warehouse.
I do not believe I have been there since before 1980.
An interesting place and he had the parts I needed for a good price.
I haven’t gone in there in a long time. But the shop is still there. Maybe this weekend.

No. Putin is forced to admit the deficiencies — and then claim that they are being remedied — because the sorry state of the Russian military cannot be hidden from the Russian public.
Ukraine can repair her electrical grid to some degree if not 100%. Russia is not replacing stocks of cruise missiles due to lack of foreign parts. The T-62s are coming out of storage. They are not going to get fire control systems for the same reason.
Ukraine can win by Russia militarily and economically burning out.
You Russians should be rising up against your dictator Putin.
Putin is bad for Russia
Not that.
The problems are
1. They don’t maintain their equipment
2. Huge corruption meant that more for maintenance or new etwas just robbed
Yup.
Brandon was also ready to abandon Ukraine in February, but their president refused to flee, giving the Ukrainians heart to fight.
“nothing bad ever happens to Ukraine”
What are you talking about?
They were invaded by their powerful neighbour and thousands killed
Or by Russians wishing up and getting rid of Putin
“Stolen and sold”. This is a big problem on both sides. In order to make sure my Ukrainian stepson was adequately out fitted, we sent him a first-class helmet, reinforced field gloves, a first-rate protective vest and a very large package of freeze-dried food. All of this was supposed to be provided by his military unit.
“The Nazi command has deployed Right Sector units to prevent the Ukrainian Armed Forces from retreating from Artemivsk (Bakhmut). Up to 200 Right Sector fighters have been deployed in this direction and have been ordered to stop the retreat of units of the 93rd Army Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces”

“The 128th Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine paid dearly for yesterday’s attempt to attack. The situation is close to rebellion, they refuse to go forward.
Berislav direction.”

“I think, despite the intensification of exchanges, the number of Ukrainian prisoners of war is growing and growing. I think their number is approaching 8000.”

“The average lifespan of a Ukrainian mobilized recruit now is approximately 10 days — from the time he is grabbed off the street to the time he falls on the battlefield.
Foreign mercenaries—which by and large have become regular Polish and Romanian (and other NATO countries’) troops masquerading as “volunteers” — loath the idea of being used as cannon fodder and behave as regular colonial expeditionary forces.”

“The Ukrainian command continues to throw its soldiers into new suicidal attacks in the area of the Donetsk airport.
As a result of the competent actions of the scouts of the DPR special forces battalion, the enemy suffered heavy losses,
and now the approaches to our positions are literally strewn with the bodies of destroyed Ukrainian militants.”
