Today, Friday, the Kremlin vowed to destroy the fighters that Poland and Slovakia will send to Ukraine, stressing that Western arms shipments to Kiev will not change Russia’s military goals.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “The provision of this military equipment – as we have already said – will not change the outcome of the special military operation.”
The Russian President’s spokesman announced that Poland’s provision of combat aircraft to Ukraine might not affect the outcome of the Russian special military operation, but it would cause additional problems for the Ukrainians themselves.

A few days ago, the commander of the Lithuanian Military Intelligence Service, Colonel Iliagis Pulavicius, said that Russia “has the resources to continue the war with the same intensity in Ukraine for at least another two years.”
According to Colonel Polavichos, Russia “has accumulated a lot of military equipment since the Cold War, which is why it is now withdrawn from storage,” considering that “although this technology is old and not of high quality like modern weapons, it still serves the Russians and harms Ukraine.” “.
