Quote: "This means that some missiles are being put to use directly from the assembly line. [We are unsure] how long that will be sufficient; a lot depends on the production.
Yes, compared to the pre-war period it [production] has decreased. But, unfortunately, the Russian Federation is still able to produce a certain number of cruise missiles and other weapons that are used against our state, due to the fact that they are circumventing economic sanctions."
Details: Russia has imported 122-mm and 152-mm artillery shells from Belarus throughout the past two months. In addition, according to Ukrainian intelligence, negotiations are ongoing between the Russian Federation and other countries regarding the supply of ammunition and missiles for the Smerch and Uragan multiple-launch rocket system, which are in short supply; negotiations are also underway between the Russian Federation and Iran regarding the replenishment of ballistic missile stocks.
Skibitskyi noted that there are draft agreements on these issues between these countries, but to date, deliveries of such weapons have not been documented.
