Quote: "As for the jealous statements that started [to sound] from Kyiv, we have repeatedly said that the process of pumping the Kyiv regime with weapons from a factual, emotional, financial and technological point of view will enter a downward trend."

Details: He is convinced that this will inevitably happen, as opportunities seem to have their limits, and money tends to run out.

"New needs arise, emotional fatigue and justified questions about what exactly the money of foreign taxpayers is spent on are increasingly on the agenda," Peskov said.

The Defence Intelligence stated that Russia is preparing to discredit Ukraine in order to influence the attitude of its allies and the provision of Western weapons.
