Today, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Russia asked how much more resources the country would have for a potential war against Ukraine. Unfortunately, the GUR and Lithuanian military intelligence both believe that Russia would only have enough resources for two years of such a war. The military also believes that they could fight until 2023 or 2024 at the latest, assuming it is a conventional war. If sanctions are tightened, this reserve would be even smaller. European countries are already considering tightening sanctions due to Russia's transfer of Iskanders to Belarus, which could potentially include tactical nuclear missiles. In response to the question of whether the occupiers have a shortage of missiles, it appears that surface launchers have been brought to their basing points, but they are not equipped. Submarine missile carriers are still in place, which is why the missile threat is still considered high. Russians have a large stockpile of bombs which they are converting to guided bombs to imitate missiles. Ukraine has experience in shooting down such bombs, and it is important to shoot down the aircraft themselves in order to counter the occupiers' methods. It is also important to listen to alarms when there are submarine missile carriers at sea, as they can launch missiles all over Ukraine.
