Description of the fake LIE

The White House noted Russia’s significant military resources and recognized the superiority of its military forces over the Ukrainian ones. This is reported by Russian media with reference to John Kirby, the Coordinator for Strategic Communications of the U.S. National Security Council.

Refutation TRUTH

Kirby said that the Kremlin still had significant resources, but they were gradually being depleted, StopFake journalists found out.

“…they have to keep reaching out to other countries to shore up their inventory of artillery shells and missiles and, of course, drones. … We also know that he [Putin] still has a sizable amount of his air force available to him, a sizable amount of his ground mechanized capability available to him… He also has an advantage in manpower because Russia is just a bigger country,” Kirby said.

Moreover, Kirby added that the command of the Russian army was in a terrible state.

When they engage Ukrainian forces on the ground, they’re not having much success, Kirby added.

Therefore, he did not note the superiority of Russia’s military forces, but, on the contrary, mentioned the colossal efforts of Ukraine in the fight against a larger enemy.
