Ukraine says Russian stocks of precision missiles at "critical levels" but attacks are still a "serious test"
From CNN's Tim Lister
Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (DI) says that while Russian missile stocks may have fallen to "critical levels," it still has enough to inflict heavy damage on Ukrainian infrastructure.
Andrii Yusov, the DI spokesperson, told Ukrainian television Monday that attacks during the day were "another terrorist attack on peaceful, civilian infrastructure, primarily energy infrastructure."
Yusov said that "regarding high-precision weapons in Russia, by many indicators the stockpiles of missiles have fallen to critical levels."
"The Russians cannot afford regular massive [missile attacks) now, but this does not reduce the damage to infrastructure and losses for Ukraine. This is a serious test for us. There are a lot of S300 missiles left, so the frontline cities can be hit more," the official said.
As for reports of explosions at or near airfields in the Russian cities of Ryazan and Engels, Yusov said they "can neither confirm nor deny. When terrorists have something burning, it can only be positive."
