“The most important key task of our military-industrial complex is to provide our front-line units and forces with everything they need: weapons, equipment, ammunition and supplies in the necessary quantities and of the right quality in the shortest possible timeframes.” Vladimir said. Putin said.
“It is also important to significantly hone and improve the technical characteristics of our fighters’ weapons and equipment based on the combat experience we have gained,” the Russian president added.
He also said that this week the Russian army had to learn and solve the problems it has suffered in Ukraine and vowed to give the troops everything they need for the war that is coming to the end of its 10th month.
Russia invaded Ukraine in February this year and after sustained gains in the initial months of the conflict, Moscow suffered battlefield defeats after Ukrainian counterattacks.
Meanwhile, a Russian strike in Ukraine’s recently recaptured city of Kherson has killed at least seven people, injured 58 others and left dead bodies on the road, authorities said as Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky posted photos that they showed streets littered with burning cars, broken windows, and bodies.
