Russians stockpile missiles to hit Ukraine - Humenyuk

The Russians are stockpiling missiles in order to hit Ukrainian energy facilities during the heating season, the head of the Joint Coordination Press Centre of the Defence Forces of Southern Ukraine, Nataliya Humenyuk, has said. The head of the Joint Coordination Press Centre of the Defence Forces of Southern Ukraine, Nataliya Humenyuk, said this on air of the Direct TV channel.

She pointed out that the Russian Federation would try to repeat last year's terrorist attack and the targets of the strikes would be energy facilities.

The fact that they are now stockpiling actually missile weapons, we are seeing, because obviously the latest attacks are more economical. They look quite modest," Humenyuk said.

She explained that the enemy's latest attacks are more about identifying air defence systems, hence the bombardment of our country with missiles and drones overnight.

They are using a mixed method of attack with different missiles of different bases, and they are using drones," Humenyuk said.

She also pointed out that intelligence has recorded frequent flights from Russia to Iran. According to Humenyuk, this indicates that Russia is transporting components for the drones that are being produced.
