German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said the Russian elite is beginning to turn away from Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Bild news reported on Telegram on April 21, referring to the minister's interview with German broadcaster ZDR.
The minister said he has received messages from Moscow that Putin's position is weakening over Russian defeats in Ukraine.
"There are many people from the old (Soviet-era) nomenclature who turn away, but very quietly and on the sidelines, and it will remain so," Pistorius said.
Russians are now deploying mothballed equipment that is often in a deplorable state, he added.
"It's literally ancient tanks from the 1950's and 1960’s," the minister said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
