Putin has insulted Zelenskyy’s Jewish heritage, saying, “I have many Jewish friends. They say Zelenskyy is not a Jew, he is a disgrace to the Jewish people.”

He also says Ukraine will soon run out of its own military equipment, thus making itself totally reliant on the West, reports al jazeera.

Speaking at an economic forum in St Petersburg, Putin added, “Soon Ukraine will stop using its own equipment altogether. Nothing remains of it. Everything with which they fight and everything that they use is brought in from the outside. You can’t fight for long like that.”
