The Russian military’s shortfalls in the eight-month war have been so pronounced that Putin had to create a structure to try to address them. On Tuesday, he chaired a new committee designed to accelerate the production and delivery of weapons and supplies for Russian troops, stressing the need to “gain higher tempo in all areas.”
KYIV, Ukraine Ukraine s nuclear energy operator said Tuesday that Russian forces were performing secret work at Europe s largest nuclear power plant, activity that could shed light on Russia s claims that the Ukrainian military is preparing a "provocation" involving a radioactive device.
Facing production delays and mounting losses, Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged his government to cut through bureaucracy to crank out enough weapons and military supplies to feed the war in Ukraine.
