Putin Belittles West's F-16 Deliveries to Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Ukraine about the F-16 fighter jets it is set to receive, stating that it will only prolong the conflict. Putin also claimed that Ukraine has lost 71,500 troops in the ongoing war, criticizing their efforts as producing "no results." He further mentioned that since his partial mobilization order in September 2022, around 570,000 Russians have joined the military voluntarily.
