Russian President Vladimir Putin says there were no financial limits on what the government would provide in terms of equipment and hardware.
LONDON, United Kingdom – President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday, December 21, that the Russian army had to learn from and fix the problems it had suffered in Ukraine, promising to give the military whatever it needed to prosecute a war nearing the end of its 10th month.
Putin acknowledged, not for the first time, that the call-up of 300,000 reservists that he ordered in September had not gone smoothly. “I ask the Ministry of Defense to be attentive to all civilian initiatives, including taking into account criticism and responding correctly, in a timely manner,” he said.
On Tuesday, December 20, he told security officers that the situation in four regions of Ukraine that Russia has claimed as its own territory – something Kyiv rejects – was “highly complicated.”Nearly 10 months on from its February 24 invasion, Russia occupies a huge swathe of eastern and southern Ukraine along a front stretching some 1,100 kilometers but has suffered a series of defeats that have swung the war’s momentum in favor of its smaller adversary.
