Russia Admits It's Running Out of Weapons in Ukraine War

For the first time, Russia has admitted that it is running out of weapons in the Ukraine war, after President Vladimir Putin's government created a draft federal law that would allow the country to quickly repair weapons and military equipment.

On Thursday evening, the Kremlin submitted a bill to the State Duma on "special economic measures" for "counterterrorist and other operations" outside of Russia.

An explanatory note attached to the bill said that there is, particularly amid Putin's war against Ukraine, "a short-term increased need for the repair of weapons and military equipment."

The bill proposed, among other measures, "the implementation of material assets from state reserves" and "the temporary activation of mobilization capacities and facilities," as well as overtime work in "individual organizations."

that he's helped put together a coalition of over 50 nations who are committed to arming Ukraine.

Thank you for your outstanding leadership Mr President!



I think Putin miscalculated.

No wonder Putin's allies in the GOTP are whining about the costs and are screaming to stop supplying Ukraine.
