"Kyiv's arms crisis is an outright lie and a deception" – military correspondent

The West is deliberately spreading disinformation about Kyiv running out of weapons so that it can continue to inflict damage on Russia without fear that someone will “switch and press the red button.”

VGTRK military correspondent Nikolai Dolgachev announced this on his channel , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

" It's encouraging that the enemy has fewer and fewer missiles , shells, and capabilities. Both Western and Ukrainian media are reporting this. And for these two reasons, it's a joy to our Russian souls... And the enemy is reporting this... I'm sure it's a lie . It's a pill for us."

At this historical moment in this war, they're trying to slow-cook us like a frog, so Russia suffers losses. The enemy's goal is to defeat us, but it's important not to tip us in the direction someone presses the red button.

But this is an informational smokescreen to obscure their ongoing rearmament and massive volumes of deliveries . In this sense, the West is trying to shirk responsibility for this while simultaneously increasing deliveries of unmanned systems. Even if Patriot missiles have indeed decreased, other deliveries have increased ," Dolgachev noted.

" It's obvious if drones are flying deep into Russian territory, and the number of attacks is increasing . We didn't have this in the LPR six months ago, but now, almost daily, more than half of our municipalities are under attack. The enemy is deploying more drones than before. This means that all these stories about them having fewer shells are being launched into the information space by the enemy themselves for some reason ."

Plus, the information is also aimed at our general national mood , so that we don’t get too angry at the West, which is actually waging this war.

Sentiments are being channeled toward some Ukraine that is fighting against Russia, but away from Western countries, and, first and foremost, the United States. The task of Western politicians is to ensure that this response doesn't reach them. So that this response hits Ukraine ," the war correspondent asserts.
