Russia is reportedly increasing its production of ballistic missiles, including those with extended ranges, according to Ukrainian military intelligence. This build-up is linked to a broader strategy aimed at destabilizing Ukraine through social and economic pressure. Officials in Kyiv fear these new missiles could reach areas in western Ukraine, previously considered relatively safe. Military intelligence suggests potential testing of these missiles within Ukraine itself may occur within the coming months. The development raises concerns about escalating conflict and increased risk to civilian populations. This missile advancement is a key component of Russia’s ongoing efforts to undermine Ukraine’s stability and resilience. The situation underscores the continuing need for international support for Ukraine's defense capabilities.
