The Independent: Russia has deprived Ukraine of the ability to produce weapons – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

“Russia managed to paralyze the industry, depriving Ukraine of the opportunity to produce the necessary equipment at home,” RIA Novosti quotes the Ukrainian fighter. According to him, now the Armed Forces of Ukraine are completely dependent on supplies from the United States, Great Britain, the European Union and South Korea.

The officer also noted that the use of new weapons and new tactics by the Russian military is forcing kyiv to constantly change its requests for military supplies to the West. For example, the military man complained, it turned out that Ukraine now needs more missiles for the Patriot air defense system than expected.

Earlier, a fighter from the Kraken unit said that the Russian army had prepared a “smart” defense line that could not be broken during a counteroffensive. He also noted that the offensive did not go as planned from the beginning, as it was prepared by incompetent people.
