This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

In case you are like me and have lost count.
The offensive should have even more of an effect on them now.
I assume this does not include all of the stuff Poland already gave them...

"France has refused to provide Ukraine with the means to allow its aircraft to fly over Belarus – Ukraine's neighbor and faithful Russian ally – whose regime has posed a constant threat to Kyiv since the start of the war. Le Monde has learned the Ukrainian authorities asked Paris for a digital map of Belarus, essential for combat aircraft or drones to carry out low-altitude missions. When contacted, the Defense Ministry did not wish to comment.
These digital maps – called DTED (digital terrain elevation data) in pilots' jargon – detail the topography of an area but also provide data on obstacles, such as high-voltage power lines or wind turbines, and above all military equipment that could prove dangerous for an aircraft, such as radar equipment or anti-aircraft batteries. "It incorporates all the tactical data needed for very low altitude penetration, at night or with poor visibility," said a military source.

To justify its refusal, Paris argued that its support would be unwavering if it were solely to defend Ukrainian territory, but that participating in operations on foreign soil was out of the question. French military sources indicate that Ukraine had probably previously made this request to other members of the coalition supporting its efforts against Russian aggression. Kyiv would have reportedly only turned to France after having been refused."
After Macron sucked Xi's dick for a few days I expect French support for Ukraine to waiver moving forward....
Ok France, FU. Anyway, I am sure we have this information ourselves which we can provide.
Good point-I think this just refers to the recent push for countries to supply tanks.
"The PT-91s Poland has been donating to Ukraine represent just a small part of Warsaw’s wide-ranging military support for Kyiv. Poland has gifted to Ukraine, or pledged to gift, no fewer than 330 tanks. Old T-72M1s. PT-91s. Even a small number of German-designed Leopard 2s."
Poland Made A Better Russian-Style Tank—And Gave It To Ukraine
Poland’s first post-Soviet tank was the PT-91 Twardy. A faster, better-protected version of the Russian T-72M1 that, most critically, also boasts a new fire-control system with high-end optics.

"Russian Vanki covered the streets of Bakhmut"
You beat me to this one. This wasn’t even a front line unit. Makes you wonder what the guys at the front are drinking? No discipline in their army spells trouble if the Ukrainians can mount a solid combined operations offensive.
Didn’t see this one coming….
