Russia has amassed a large stockpile of missiles of various types, including Kh-101 and Kalibr missiles, as well as ballistic weapons for launching strikes.

According to Ukrinform, this was stated by Andrii Kovalenko, Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) under Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), on Telegram.

"It’s not about fewer attacks — Russia is stockpiling drones because they experienced a logistical setback due to successful [Ukrainian] strikes on production and storage sites for Shahed drone components. That explains the temporary reduction in drone activity. Russia has amassed a significant number of missiles of various types, including Kh-101, Kalibr, and ballistic missiles for strikes," Kovalenko wrote.
