Moscow’s forces have been plagued by shortages, while Kyiv is taking delivery of advanced Western hardware.

Good. I feel thats all the comment needed.

    Russia could only find one tank for their World War II Victory Day parade, and Prigozhin is openly rebelling because they couldn’t find enough ammo to supply the Wagner Group. The shortages have been obvious for a while now.

      I think that’s the point, but if they’re willing to admit it now, how bad must it be?

    Ukraine would be happy to provide Russia with more ammunition. It’ll even be delivered at high speed!

    Well of course it’s low. They were running out in March 22!

    Should we call Snake island to tell the Ghost of Kiev to take out Putin’s body double, since Putin died of cancer already and all.

      I mean this is Putin saying that they are running out of shit and they are trying to transition into more of a wartime economy.

      I don’t see why Putin would try to sell the Russian situation as worse than it is.

        Seems he’s always a liar unless he’s saying something they want to believe. I don’t personally believe he’d publicise this if it was true.

        If there’s one thing everyone can agree on in this war is that it’s the most bullshit filled one in recorded history.

          I mean the only reason he’d say this is because it help him or Russia in some way. We could speculate, but whatever.

          War propaganda has been certainly a thing forever though, I think the major difference now is that neither of the belligerents are the US, so we actually hear about both sides’ propaganda. If US soldiers would be there, I bet there would be 3 major Hollywood movies already made about it.
