Russia has in its arsenal all types of nuclear weapons, both tactical and strategic, but Ukraine's  military intelligence constantly monitors their movement.

That's according to the spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR), Vadym Skibitskyi, who spoke on the air of the national telethon, the agency's press service reports, as seen by Ukrinform.

The GUR spokesman assured that intelligence is aware of all storage locations, numbers, and placement of tactical nuclear carriers.

 According to the official, Ukrainian intelligence constantly monitors the movement of all carriers and active measures that the 12th main Department of Russia's Ministry of Defense, which is responsible for the preparation and delivery of nuclear charges, can carry out or is carrying out.

"This process is not easy, but we have experience in monitoring and reconnoitering strategic and other exercises of nuclear forces, which have been held since 2014 and earlier.  That is, we know all the procedural issues.  Because of this, the GUR constantly keeps the nuclear component of the Russian armed forces under control," Skibitsky emphasized.

 As reported by Ukrinform, Skibitskyi said that Ukraine is doing everything possible to prevent production of any type of weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation.
