“As of today, six ships carrying Kalibr naval-based cruise missiles are ready for the possible use of missile weapons in the Black Sea. Their possible total missile volley is up to 36 missiles.”
“The aggressor continues to launch missiles and air strikes on the territory of our state with the use of air-launched and sea-launched cruise missiles. On June 12, four Tu-22M3 long-range bombers launched from the waters of the Sea of Azov at least three Kh-22 cruise missiles on the Ukrainian territory. In addition, on June 11, up to four Kalibr sea-launched cruise missiles were fired from the Black Sea at Ukraine’s civilian and military infrastructure in the Ternopil region (the west of Ukraine).”
Moreover, the threat of missile and air strikes from the territory of Belarus remains, Motuzianyk added.
He noted that the main goal of the Russian forces at this stage, apart from reaching the administrative borders of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, is to block Ukraine’s maritime links.
