Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia received a new delivery of ballistic missiles from North Korea — in his words, combat experience gained in the war could help Pyongyang improve its own missile potential. The Main Intelligence Directorate explained why the Russian Federation intensified missile strikes on Ukraine — by the main types of missile armament, Russia monthly meets production plans at the level of 110–120%, so it has more than enough weapons to ramp up attacks. Earlier RBC-Ukraine also reported how many strike drones Russia plans to produce in August.
