Reportedly, Russia asked Turkey for 200,000 body armor kits & 500,000 sets of winter gear for its soldiers, but Turkey refused. If confirmed, this tells you all you need to know about the condition of Putins military. As the saying goes, armies run on logistics. Enough said

I see no reason why they would think supplying Russia a good idea. They've been supporting Ukraine more than not. Why outright betray NATO?
How the heck is Russia asking tirkey for winter gear?? Mighty -=> fallen
They thought it would be all wrapped up before winter
