Good idea, Bad idea? To announce this?
It’s not guaranteed to be truth, but saying that may affect foreign politics. We have a lot of elections this year (russian ones are about to form a list of candidates), the war itself slowed down so there’s a promise that would change, money and materiel support is supporting the country but it’s never too much and offensive action needs more. I do think it’s not for internal consumption.
They are about to get €54B from the EU. That’s some nice scratch.
Good way to increase military contract spending
If they’re announcing it, they know that the Russians know about it.
Do you really think they would announce anything that’s actually useful info for the enemy in the press? The Ukrainians have demonstrated often enough that they’re good at information warfare.
