According to Andriy Cherniak, Russia plans to intensify its efforts in the east of Ukraine in the coming weeks, noting that now it is "trying to find weaknesses in our defense."

"However, according to our information, the Russian command does not have sufficient resources for large-scale offensive operations. The main goal of the Russian troops remains to achieve at least some tactical success in eastern Ukraine," he said.

The representative of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine also stressed that Russia lacks high-precision weapons.

"Russia is facing a shortage of high-precision weapons, and despite this, it will continue to use missile terror against the civilian population in Ukraine. The Russians have already used more than 80% of high-precision missiles. They are trying to resume their production, but so far they have not succeeded," Andriy Cherniak underlined.
