Intelligence officers reported what shelling tactics the occupants are preparing for the autumn

The Russians will continue shelling Ukrainian towns and villages this autumn. At the same time, most of the strikes will be combined, when the enemy uses a missile attack and launches drones at once. This was told by the representative of the Main Directorate of intelligence of the Defence Ministry Andrey Yusov.

At the same time, he expressed doubt that the attacks this autumn will be more massive than a year ago.

Could there be strikes? There could be. Are the Russians trying to stockpile missiles now? They are. Will there be combined strikes? There will be. Will they be more massive than last winter? No, they won't," he said.

Yusov added that intelligence cannot predict how much the enemy will damage the energy sector this autumn.

This is first of all a question for the energy sector and the government," he said.

At the same time, the GUR representative said that Ukraine is more protected this time, as the military has modern air defence equipment at its disposal.

There are more air defence and missile defence means, from this point of view Ukraine is better prepared for attacks," the GUR representative said.

Last autumn and winter, the Russian occupants shelled Ukraine en masse, mainly trying to destroy energy facilities in order to leave Ukrainians without heat and light.
