Western countries began supplying weapons to Ukraine even before the start of the special operation, but after February 24, 2022, supplies increased significantly. Ukraine is also receiving tanks, MLRS, drones, etc. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Western technology did not help Ukraine achieve progress during the counteroffensive; its characteristics are often inferior even to Soviet-style weapons.

Since the beginning of June, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been conducting active offensive operations. Russian President Vladimir Putin previously called the offensive “not a slippage, but a failure.”
