Russia is stockpiling missiles: Budanov told which targets will be at risk of strikes

The Head of the Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov said that Russia has currently suspended missile attacks on Ukraine in order to accumulate their reserve for disrupting the offensive operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

He said this in an interview with "RBC-Ukraine".

"For the most part, they will hit the groups of troops that will be formed," he said.

The Head of the Defence Intelligence also told whether we should expect another massive strike on the energy infrastructure in the autumn of 2023.

"Let's go to the dry statistics. By the autumn, if they don't waste a single missile, they will have a certain number of missiles - less than what they started these missile attacks with - but quite significant. But that won't happen because they plan to use these missiles now," Kyrylo Budanov summarized.
