Russia can't hinder weapons supply to Ukrainian Armed Forces

Russia has not been able to conduct a single successful operation to destroy our weapons during their delivery to the frontline, which is ensured not only by the "dark Ukrainian nights" but also by Ukrainian special services

I watched the old bunker man’s last interview. The other day he decided to talk to a tame journalist across a long table. This is the same conversation where he talked about nuclear weapons for Lukashenko and 1,500 tanks for the frontline in a year. And only once did Putin feel uncomfortable. He was uncomfortable with the question that the journalist apologetically said "many Russians want to ask": why does Western equipment get to the frontline without hindrance? And the dictator's uncertain answer. He says they mean to intercept it, "no one treats it with disregard," but Ukrainians are transferring it, he says, very secretly and at night.

Why are Russians failing in this area, why are the destroyed HIMARS mentioned only in the reports of the Russian Defense Ministry, and why is even the Russian president forced to comment on the problem? Instead of Putin's mumbling, the Kremlin journalist got an answer from Kyiv. The Ukrainian Security Service(SBU) neutralized an FSB network that was supposed to disrupt the supply of Western weapons to the frontline. FSB agents were collecting data on the routes of military echelons and the locations of ammunition depots. According to them, sabotage and missile attacks on supply routes were to take place. The Kremlin had been preparing the personnel for years. The network was created by the FSB before the full-scale invasion began and activated on February 24. Among the agents who are now facing life imprisonment is one of the assistants to a current MP.

“The SBU neutralized an FSB network that was supposed to disrupt the supply of Western weapons to the frontline. FSB agents were collecting data on the routes of military echelons and the locations of ammunition depots. According to them, sabotage and missile attacks on supply routes were to take place. The Kremlin had been preparing the personnel for years”

Needless to say, the exposure of such a network means dozens of units of rescued equipment and, most importantly, hundreds of saved lives. According to official data, the SBU has arrested more than 600 traitors since the beginning of the invasion. The fact that Russia has not been able to carry out a single successful operation to destroy our weapons during their delivery to the frontline is due not only to the "dark Ukrainian nights" but also to our special services. Putin, however, will never say this in his interview.
