Russia stocked up on missiles during "energy ceasefire" – UK intelligence on April 24 attack

The Russian occupation army used the so-called "energy truce" to replenish its missile stockpiles for a massive attack on April 24. This was reported by British intelligence on April 25.

The Russian military utilized strategic aviation, bombers, Black Sea Fleet ships, and ground-based launchers.

"This combination of munitions almost certainly sought to complicate and saturate Ukrainian Air Defence efforts. The Ukrainian Air Force reported intercepting 112 munitions, as well as interdicting others via electronic warfare," the report states.

The intelligence added that the Kh-101 cruise missiles remain the primary weapon for Russia's mass strikes.

They believe that the "recent 30-day energy ceasefire" allowed Russia to replenish its missile stocks, which had only been used twice since the beginning of March.

"Rebuilding its stockpile enables Russia  to sit ready to conduct strikes like these with little to no notice, at a time of Russia’s choosing, as Russia continues normal strike operations," the report says.

• On the night of April 24, Russia attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles. In Kyiv, as a result of the drone attack, people were killed, nearly 90 were injured, and fires broke out in several areas of the city. The region also suffered significant destruction.
