The invaders began to stockpile missiles to launch a new massive strike on Ukraine.

"They are likely to stockpile some reserves to launch a massive strike. This probability is not excluded, because the enemy has not abandoned the intention to destroy our critical infrastructure," Yuriy Ihnat, Spokesperson for the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said on the air of a nationwide telethon.

According to him, the invaders realized that the results of sporadic missile or drone strikes "are not sufficient", so the Russian Federation is probably trying to build up reserves for a massive strike.

Russian plants now work in three shifts to replenish cruise missile stocks, Ihnat noted.

As reported, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 278 aircraft, 260 helicopters, 1,499 operational-tactical UAVs, and 399 cruise missiles since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
