They aren’t helping.

Re: weapon supply vs. the MiG-29 - as far as was explained to me, the problem with the jets is in the legal details.
That they cannot operate from Poland, or Germany, should be clear. If Ukraine is still able to operate those jets from Ukrainian soil I can’t say, but I gather there are problems in the logistics for that.
I understood that the legalse argument is that the jets are NATO weapons, so neither bought on the market with support of the NATO nor decommissioned (as in case of the former NVA rockets Germany delivered). I assume the rest of the weapons transported to Ukraine are also not NATO stockpile?

That’s kind of how Russian equivalents work right?
Less effective, weirdly old, but throw a couple of flashy specs on there for the propaganda and the weekend warriors to gush over.
The Azov Battalion are fascists but even they aren’t that stupid.
“Oh yes, you can join NATO, but I won’t be responsible for what you will make me do.”
1,000 staff? And they were ALL replaced? With who? Where does Putin get a sample of 1,000 people certain that not a single one wants him dead?
(And, gee, is he high maintenance or what?)
Did that include the IT department?
A thousand people twiddling their thumbs because they can’t login, go through the emails and files to figure out what their job is.
