Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that as of today, Russia has up to 700 ballistic missiles in reserve, with a monthly production of approximately 130-140 units. This information was announced during a press conference on October 4, 2026.
Change in Russia's Tactics
Zelensky pointed out that Russia is likely to change its tactics for mass attacks. According to him, the enemy will not only attempt to increase the number of missiles but also enhance their technological capabilities. The president specifically noted that Russia plans to increase the share of reactive drones, particularly “Shahed” type drones, in its attacks.
Strikes on Civil Infrastructure
Separately, Zelensky commented on the strikes against bridges in Kyiv, describing them as “cutting bridges,” which constitutes a form of terror. He emphasized that these actions aim to create chaos in large cities, forcing people to leave their homes, including the capital.
Ukraine's Preparation for New Challenges
In light of these threats, the Ukrainian government is preparing alternative solutions in case of serious damage to infrastructure. This reflects the state’s readiness to face potential new challenges in the context of security and defense.
