Vladimir Putin is said to be running out of missiles, tanks and aircraft, because the parts they rely on are made in Ukraine.
Sanctions and a failure to capture Ukrainian targets mean Mr Putin’s options for restocking are limited
Russia said the withdrawal would help increase trust at peace talks, however, the claims have been met with scepticism. Russia has said its retreating from Kyiv but there are fears it may only be to launch a fresh assault on the Donbas region Open-source intelligence estimates suggest that Russia has lost at least 2,000 tanks and armoured vehicles, although true figures are suspected to be higher.
It is also believed that Russia will be unable to restock its Kh-55 cruise missiles, which are launched from the air and have the ability to carry nuclear warheads, because they too rely on imported components. While reports suggest Russia is running low on arms, Ukraine’s resources are being bolstered by its allies.
