Putin: You can only trust me

At a press conference following the EAEU summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked who to believe on issues of supplying the army – the Ministry of Defense or reports from frontline fighters. The head of state replied that only he could be trusted.

“You can’t trust anyone, only I can,” declared the president. He said that he regularly works with the Ministry of Defense on the issue of equipping the army. Mr. Putin acknowledged that problems with the supply of Russian soldiers remain, but they are becoming smaller and the most acute have already been resolved.

At the press conference, the head of state also assuredthat there are no factors for the resumption of mobilization, and the special operation is “going on as usual.” He notedthat the military operation could take a long time due to the long process of resolving the situation in Ukraine.
