The time between Russian missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine is growing, while the number of missiles in the strikes is decreasing. That’s because Russia’s stock of missiles is running low.

Head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry Kyrylo Budanov said this in an interview with Voice of America, Ukrinform reports.

"We have survived more than 20 missile attacks... The regularity here is that the time between missile attacks is growing, while the number of missiles in the strikes is decreasing. This is the only regularity," Budanov said.

When asked about the reason for this tendency, he emphasized that Russia is running out of missile stocks that have dropped to “almost zero."
