Putin once again criticized Western countries for supplying Ukrainians with weapons

the president of Russia, Vladimir Putinaffirmed this Saturday, 04, that Russian forces destroyed “dozens” of weapons of the United States at Ukraine. “Their air defense systems are cracking like nuts, dozens have been destroyed,” the president said in an interview with Russian state television, the first part of which was broadcast on Friday and the second part will be shown on Sunday. Putin did not specify exactly what weapons he was referring to in the earlier excerpt, but the announcement of the interview indicates that the Kremlin chief will answer a question about the US arms supply to Ukraine. The Russian president and government have repeatedly denounced the delivery of modern weapons by the West to Kiev, most recently after the White House have announced that it will supply Ukraine with multiple missile launchers with a range of up to 70 kilometers. The US agreed to take this step after receiving a promise from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that it would not attack Russian territory with these weapons.
