Putin dealt another blow as Russia’s ‘only tank manufacturer’ stops production due to lack of supplies

Vladimir Putin has been dealt yet another blow as Russia’s “only tank manufacturer” has stopped production due to the lack of available supplies amid sanctions.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said, “According to the available information, due to the lack of receipts of foreign-made components, the work of the enterprises of the Uralzavod Corporation and the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant has been suspended.
