Ukrainian intelligence has received internal Russian documents, according to which Russia is transferring air defense systems from the regions to Moscow and the Kerch Bridge, weakening the defense of other areas on its territory and the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
Points of attention
- Russian air defense systems are being relocated from regions to Moscow and the Kerch Bridge, leaving other areas vulnerable.
- Ukrainian intelligence obtained internal documents confirming the transfer, exposing strategic shifts in Russia's defense strategy.
Russia “bares” the country from air defense to protect Moscow
Head of State Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this based on the results of the report by the head of the State Administration of Internal Affairs, Oleg Ivashchenko.
Intelligence has obtained internal Russian documents with a real assessment of the consequences of Ukrainian long-range sanctions. The Russian leadership's response to the situation has also been recorded. One of these measures is the relocation of air defense systems from Russian regions to Moscow and to the Kerch Bridge. In fact, it is these two perimeters that the Russians have received orders to protect by weakening other areas on their territory and in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Let's draw conclusions.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
Zelensky added that a separate report concerned the state of Russian missile production and strategic military aviation.
We are preparing our new, completely fair steps in response to Russia's prolongation of the war and strikes on the territory of Ukraine. It is important that as many Russians as possible understand that the war is being prolonged precisely because of the Russian leadership's refusal to engage in diplomacy. Ukraine has provided meaningful diplomatic proposals. Thank you to everyone who defends our state and people!
