US, allies degraded Russia's ability to replace weapons destroyed in war: Report
A new report released by the U.S. and it's allies states that they have degraded the Russian defense industry’s ability to replace weapons destroyed in the war, including over 6,000 pieces of military equipment, including tanks, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles.
The report was announced at a meeting hosted by the U.S. Department of Treasury along with top finance and other government agencies from 33 countries meant to illustrate how joint sanctions "have disrupted Russia’s military operations" and "critical defense supply chains" impacting Russian efforts on the battlefield.
Officials said the shortages, in part due to sanctions and export controls, are forcing Russia to look to less technologically advanced countries, like North Korea and Iran, for supplies and equipment.
