    “And, as Putin said yesterday, one of the tasks was to demilitarise Ukraine. In fact, this task is largely completed. Ukraine is using less and less of its weapons. And more and more it uses the weapons systems that Western countries supply it with.”

    Ah, the subtle differences between demilitarization and upgrading to NATO standards.

    If his statement had ever anything to do with reality. Probably just feel-good words directed at the domestic audience.

      Mission failed successfully! We bombed a lot of “Nazis” and their local weapons capabilities! Pay no attention to the fact that we’ve radicalized an entire generation of brand-new nationalists, strengthened our enemies, and ensured free flow of cutting-edge weaponry into their country while feeding an entire generation of our young men into a meat grinder.

      @Spzi Ukraine has been demilitarized of soviet equipment FWIW. Imagine how long it would’ve taken Ukraine to do this had it not been an invasion on its land. Thanks, Putler!

      Bonus: Putler has also demilitarized former Warsaw Pact members of Soviet weaponry even further. Can you believe the benefits of it? I’m in tears of joy rn.

      i suppose he thinks ukraine relying on western nations for weaponry is better than ukraine being able to produce its own (im fairly sure that they still are producing their own so.)

      Can the cowards downvoting the comment I’m responding to and others in this thread respond to this comment? I want to block you guys but you timidly refuse to stick your head out and post your disagreements out in the open.
