Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the impossibility of quickly replenishing Western arsenals of weapons, “devastated by deliveries to Ukraine.”
The Russian leader said this at a meeting with permanent members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
“Yes, of course, Western weapons can still be additionally put and thrown into battle. This, of course, causes us certain damage and delays the conflict,” he said.
“But, firstly, the NATO arsenals and the reserves of old Soviet weapons in some states are already largely devastated. And secondly, the available production facilities in the West do not allow you to quickly make up for the consumption of the reserves of equipment and ammunition,” said Putin.
Putin believes that additional reserves “are needed to replenish additional, and large resources and time”.
The Russian leader said that the United States “beneficial and endless tightening of the Ukrainian conflict.”
“Judging by what is happening in real life, today’s ruling US elites do just that. In any case, they act in this logic,” he said.
“whether such a policy corresponds to the true, indigenous interests of the American people – this is a big question, the question, of course, is rhetorical, let them decide for themselves,” said the head of the Russian state.

However, according to Putin, now the fire of the war is “intensified.” According to him, the United States “uses the ambitions of the leaders of some East European states that have long turned hatred for Russia, Russophobia into their main export goods and into the instrument of their domestic policy, and now they want to” warm their hands “on Ukrainian tragedy.”
Putin warned of the consequences of the “very dangerous game” of the West that is trying to draw new countries into conflict in Ukraine.
“I will say one thing is a very dangerous game, and the authors of such plans should think about the consequences,” said Putin.
The President of the Russian Federation also believes that Poland wants to intervene in the conflict in Ukraine in order to “tear off the piece of fatter”
as for the Polish leaders, they probably expect to form a certain coalition under the “NATO umbrella” and directly intervene in the conflict in Ukraine, to then “tear off” a piece of fatter, to regain their historical territories – today’s Western Ukraine, ”he remarked.
Russia will respond with all available means in case of aggression from the west against Belarus, Putin said.
