British intelligence says where Russia will strike in winter

Russia is stockpiling missiles to hit Ukraine's energy sector in the coming winter. This was announced by the British Ministry of Defence on Twitter.

Intelligence officers indicated that Russia actively attacked Ukrainian energy infrastructure between October 2022 and March 2023. For the strikes, Russia mainly used Kh-101 (AS-23 KODIAK) missiles, which were launched by strategic aircraft from Russian territory.

Since April 2023, Russia has used fewer air-launched cruise missiles, while Russian leaders have said the country is ramping up production of such weapons. Russia is likely building significant stockpiles of air-launched cruise missiles. There is a real possibility that the Russian Federation will use these weapons again against Ukrainian infrastructure facilities in winter," the report said.

At the same time, Yuriy Ignat, a spokesman for the AFU Air Force Command, said on the air of the national telethon news earlier that Russia has many times fewer missiles as of autumn 2023 than it had in 2022. However, he emphasised that the enemy has not stopped the production of missiles and has also stepped up the purchase of Iranian drones.

As Denys Shmigal reported, Ukraine counts on Slovakia's support for electricity imports in winter.
