According to Estonian army intelligence, the criminal army of Russia is trying to deplete Ukraine's air defence systems through massive missile attacks on Ukraine.
How the Russian army is trying to weaken Ukraine's air defences with massive missile attacks
According to the head of the Estonian Army Intelligence Centre, Ants Kiviselg, the aggressor country's army has recently been actively using long-range bombers and Kalibr missiles to attack Ukraine.
In particular, they target Ukrainian military and infrastructure facilities.
In addition, the head of Estonian military intelligence noted that the Russian occupiers' attacks on Ukrainian airfields may indicate a desire to disrupt the supply of American F-16 fighters from Western partners, which is of great concern to the Kremlin.
Kiviselg noted that Russian war criminals are still trying to deplete the stockpile of missiles for air defence systems in Ukraine.
He also predicted that with the deterioration of weather conditions, we can expect an increase in the number of Russian massive missile attacks.
Kiviselg also stressed that the Russian defence industry, unfortunately, currently produces more ammunition than the criminal army of Russia uses.
What is known about the situation at the front and possible developments
The head of Estonian military intelligence stressed that Russian war criminals fire up to 10,000 shells a day at the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, while the Ukrainian military fires no more than 2,000.
"The main direction for the Russian troops is the city of Avdiivka, around and inside which fighting continues, but which the Russian side has not yet managed to completely surround," the Estonian military said.
In his opinion, the Russian occupiers will try to capture or destroy the supply routes of the Ukrainian military in the Avdiivka area to force the Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the city to surrender or retreat.
He stressed that neither the Ukrainian military nor the Russian criminals from the Russian army can move quickly, as manoeuvre is severely limited by the large number of minefields and low temperatures.
"Snowfalls limit the effective use of drones, tank units are dug in and used as artillery, and only tracked vehicles are used to move to positions due to icy conditions," explains the head of Estonian military intelligence.
He also confirmed that the Ukrainian military continued to hold a foothold on the left bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region.
