Russia kills civilians it now calls its citizens - UK intelligence

This is stated in a post by the UK Ministry of Defense on Twitter.

"Russia is wasting strategically valuable military resources in an attempt to gain tactical advantage, and in the process killing civilians it now calls its own citizens," the UK review said.

In addition, UK intelligence points out that Russia's stockpile of such missiles is likely to be limited and a valuable resource designed to destroy modern aircraft and missiles, not for use against ground targets.

The use of a missile from an air defense system to strike a ground object was almost certainly caused by a general lack of ammunition, especially long-range precision missiles.
