"But Putin told his Council for Strategic Development that his country will not "lose heart" or see decades of progress reversed. Putin called for expansion of the technological capacities, research and innovation of Russian companies."

Categorize the above under "things you won't see Biden do"

"Russia has struggled to keep commercial airplanes maintained, and defense experts say Russia's military has been forced to use legacy military hardware while trying to replenish its more modern weapons systems."

Did he drain his SPR?

Biden managed to crash our airlines by forcing vaccines that don't work on pilots. He can't even blame Russia for that.

"purges"

A modern day Stalin eliminating his closest advisors....

KYIV (Reuters) -President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Sunday abruptly fired the head of Ukraine's powerful domestic security agency, the SBU, and the state prosecutor general, citing dozens of cases of collaboration with Russia by officials in their agencies.

The sackings of SBU chief Ivan Bakanov, a childhood friend of Zelenskiy, and Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova, who has played a key role in the prosecution of Russian war crimes, were announced in executive orders on the president's website.

The firings are easily the biggest political sackings since Russia invaded on Feb. 24, forcing the entire Ukrainian state machine to focus on the war effort.

In a Telegram post, Zelenskiy said he had fired the top officials because it had come to light that many members of their agencies had collaborated with Russia, a problem he said had touched other agencies as well.

He said 651 cases of alleged treason and collaboration had been opened against prosecutorial and law enforcement officials, and that more than 60 officials from Bakanov and Venediktova's agencies were now working against Ukraine in Russian-occupied territories.

The sheer number of treason cases lays bare the huge challenge of Russian infiltration faced by Ukraine as it battles Moscow in what it says is a fight for survival.

"Such an array of crimes against the foundations of the national security of the state ... pose very serious questions to the relevant leaders," Zelenskiy said.

"Each of these questions will receive a proper answer," he said.

Russian troops have captured swathes of Ukraine's south and east during an invasion that has killed thousands, displaced millions and destroyed cities.
