SICKENING — Kremlin Couldn’t be MORE Pleased — the “West IS DONE with Ukraine
The reason for the decision was empty warehouses — but the fewer weapons supplied to Ukraine, the closer the end of the ‘special military operation,’” Kremlin’s mouthpiece Peskov told the Russian outlet Izvestia.
This is the reaction to the news that 🚨 Trump White House Gives Kremlin FREE Way with Ukraine — Halts Key Weapons Shipments to Ukraine Over Stockpile Concerns 🚨 Russians Rejoice
Russian statements show that as proof that its military pressure is working 🤮🤮🤮
Moscow also wants the world to see the suspension as evidence that the West is running out of steam. And that Ukraine’s allies are stretched too thin to keep up the flow of modern weapons that have helped Ukraine resist for over three years.
And they are doubling down on this narrative, demanding that Ukraine surrender and disarm.
Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko called for Ukraine to surrender and destroy all Western-supplied weapons as part of any future ceasefire (also in an interview with Izvestia).
According to him, these arms pose a long-term threat, like the US Stinger missiles sent to Afghan fighters in the 1980s that later ended up on the black market.
🧧 Summary:
For Moscow, it is a HUGE propaganda win: Russia can claim its military pressure is pushing the West to back down.
For Ukraine, it’s a nightmarish battlefield risk that could force it to ration air defenses while the Russians are only increasing the shelling of Ukrainian cities and the halt most likely will embolden Russia to push harder militarily, betting that Western resolve is waning.
Suspending key shipments like PATRIOT missiles and guided bombs leaves Ukraine more exposed, especially given the surge in Russian airstrikes.
For the US and its allies, it shows the real limits of years-long weapons support without rapidly scaling up production.
