Ukraine does not expect new Russian massive missile attacks on infrastructure, as the aggressor country’s plan for this has failed, Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for Ukraine’s military intelligence directorate, said in an interview to Gazeta.ua newspaper on March 29.
He said Russia will probably try to disrupt the Ukrainian counter-offensive and will instead attack military facilities with missiles.
In addition, the invaders will strike at supply routes and everything related to preparations for the liberation of the Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine, he said.
At the same time, Yusov warned that the threat to civilians will not disappear. This is due to the fact that the Russians mostly have inaccurate intelligence, and because they are running out of high-precision weapons. Therefore, it is still civil infrastructure that will suffer the most from their attacks.
The intelligence representative also emphasized that no one should expect that the Russian army will run out of missiles, since they still have thousands of S-300 missiles and the production of Kalibr missiles is also being stepped up.
“But such amounts cannot even compensate for what they have already spent,” he said.
“There are completely different indicators (for) the interval between the strikes, and the number of missiles used, that we see now compared to the beginning of the missile terror.”
Russia launched another massive missile barrage against Ukraine overnight on March 9. Explosions rocked several cities and regions, including the capital city of Kyiv.
Casualties were reported as a result of the attack, as well as damage to energy infrastructure facilities.
However, while there are have several overnight attacks by Russia’s Iranian-made suicide drones since then, these have been largely ineffectual.
