That is according to a statement of a representative of the Defense Intelligence of the Defense Ministry of Ukraine, Vadym Skibitskyi, Ukrinform reports.
"We see the impact of economic sanctions on the Russian Federation. They are trying to circumvent sanctions and import components, but it's not so easy to do. First, we collect such information and share it with our partners. [...] In addition, other measures are being taken to prevent the production of any weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation from increasing. Today's Russian deficit is related to Iskander ballistic missiles, the stocks of Kalibrs are depleting, and the number of Kh-101, Kh-555 air-based cruise missiles is decreasing. The most that Russia is capable of is two or three such powerful strikes, as we have seen recently," Vadym Skibitskyi, said this in a program on Ukraine's television, clarifying that the issue concerns high-precision weapons.

So, they are produced and immediately given to the troops for the shelling of our facilities," the representative of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine said.
Vadym Skibitskyi noted that the enemy began to combine and change tactics, using in various configurations both Iranian-made UAVs, old-type missiles, high-precision ballistic missiles and modified S-300 missiles.

The Main Intelligence Directorate constantly records Russia's measures to replenish these ammunitions from other countries. They brought a large amount from Belarus and are very actively working with other countries to find stocks," Vadym Skibitskyi stated.
