The hijackers keep some of the missiles at their base locations.



As of Sunday morning, 19 February, Russia holds nine ships in the Black Sea, among which there are two missile carriers - one surface and the other underwater. However, the enemy is depleted of cruise missile supplies, Natalia Gumenyuk, head of the press centre of the security and defence forces of the Operational Command South, said in a TV marathon broadcast.

At the same time, she pointed out that the Russians have stockpiles of missiles at their ships' basing points.

"We are observing the enemy's uncertainty about the number of missiles. They are trying to bring Kalibre stocks to Sevastopol because they are already short of them," Gumenyuk said.

The spokeswoman pointed out that such a shortage of missiles may indicate that the Russian Federation has not had time to produce the number needed for the army.

The rate of restoration of the stockpile is not what they would like. However, we have seen a general estimate from experts that they have about 20% of the Kalibers left. This is a critically low stockpile. But we understand that they can use some additional missiles," the spokeswoman said.

Natalya Humenyuk warned that the threat of a massive missile strike by Russia remains in Ukraine, so Ukrainians must be constantly prepared for such attacks.
