The West has decided to fight Russia until the last Ukrainian, says Putin

Western countries may supply additional equipment to Kyiv, but the mobilization reserves are not limitless. This statement was made by Russian President Vladimir Putin during an operational meeting with permanent members of the Security Council.

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev provided information on the losses of Ukrainian forces in terms of equipment and personnel. Shoigu noted that it is clear at this point that the equipment supplied to Kyiv from Western countries has not significantly affected the course of the special operation. Patrushev added that the Ukrainian armed forces have lost more than 13,000 personnel during attempts to launch offensives.

“I understand that these are preliminary figures, because it is impossible to see everything until the end on the battlefield, but it is generally understandable. From this, we can conclude that, of course, additional supplies of equipment can be made, but the mobilization reserves are not limitless. It seems that the Western allies of Ukraine have indeed decided to fight against Russia until the last Ukrainian,” said Putin, commenting on the reported data.

The Russian leader also noted that when setting combat tasks, one must consider that the Ukrainian army has not exhausted all its reserves. “We must understand that the enemy's offensive potential has not been depleted. Several strategic reserves have not yet been put into action, and I ask you to take this into account when constructing combat operations. We must proceed based on the realities,” said the Russian president. Yesterday, Putin stated that the Ukrainian armed forces are suffering serious losses in personnel and equipment.
