- Russia has been stockpiling missiles to hit Kiev - Britain's intelligence service


On the night of 24 April, Russia launched a large-scale combined strike on Ukraine, using Kalibr, Iskander, Kh-101 missiles, as well as attack drones. Twelve people were killed in Kiev.
The British intelligence service, commenting on the massive strike on Ukraine on 24 April, pointed out that Russia had used missiles that it had accumulated during the so-called "energy truce".
According to the UK, the "energy truce," which lasted about a month, gave Russia the opportunity to rebuild the arsenal that the Russians use to launch mass strikes on Ukrainian cities.
The replenished stocks allow strategic aviation to be ready to strike almost suddenly and at a moment convenient for Moscow, while Russia does not stop its regular attacks," the report said.
