President Vladimir Putin on Friday told Russian defense industry leaders to increase weapons production capacity to ensure the Russian military quickly receives all the military equipment it needs to fight in Ukraine, Reuters reported.

Putin, who has presented Russia’s war in Ukraine as part of a historic effort to counter what he calls excessive Western influence in world affairs, made the comments during a visit to Tula, a center for arms production.
