Putin Quote: “during the course of the special military operation, it has become clear there are shortages of many things — precision-guided munitions, communications equipment, aircraft, drones and so on.”
“We have them, but unfortunately we don’t have enough of them,” he said, according to state media. As well as drones, “modern anti-tank weapons are needed, and modern tanks are needed.”

The Ukraine is putting more pressure on the Russian lines:

Drones from Chicoms and Iran.
Well, he’s not begging for American taxpayer resources so I’m glad for that. Now if only Zelensky was so considerate. ;-)
Aha! So the reason Putin has no tanks is because he spent the money on Biden!
LOL! Putin suckered by Biden! Gotta love it!
Both Putin and Zelenskyy are running short of ammo and weapons.
Eventually, there has to be a ceasefire because there will be little to fire other than nukes.
Apparently the CIA can even get Putin to spread their propaganda for them ;)
“why on earth would anyone think it would be Ukraine that was running out of weapons”
It’s amazing the stupid things people will believe when they really, really want to believe them. That tendency is what every con man on the planet takes advantage of to part people from their money.
“why on earth would anyone think it would be Ukraine that was running out of weapons”
You need to ask McGregor, MoonOverAlabama,Ritter,Larry Johnson
as they would know the answer.
Or perhaps he ate some “Nulands Cookies”.
I don’t believe this story for a second. Only the US government is stupid enough to admit they are out of military supplies in the middle of a war. More propaganda and lies. This war has set a record for lies from all sides.
“I don’t believe this story for a second.”
LOL. It’s sourced from Russian state media:

Translated version:
Might be true, might not. But I tell you everyone has read this book and knows how to implement the strategies. Those who take things at face value obviously have not.
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

This is the full picture provided by Putin in the article that is not in the Politico headlined narrative
“We have them, but unfortunately we don’t have enough of them,” he said, according to state media. As well as drones, “modern anti-tank weapons are needed, and modern tanks are needed.”
At the same time, Putin claimed that there has been a nearly threefold increase in the production of weapons for the battlefield, rising to a tenfold increase for the most in-demand equipment.
Right. Russia doesn’t have all these weapons in abundance.
But neither does the US, ahem, I mean the Ukraine.
It sucks to be in a virtual stalemate war, only the war profiteers win!
(Never thought I’d be using hyppie talking points)
.
A ten fold increase but still short.
