Quote: "According to our data, their stocks have decreased by over a half during the time they have been actively using them [missiles -ed.] on the territory of Ukraine since February 24."

"They [Russian troops -ed.] have already used approximately the number named, that is, over 1,000 missiles. More precisely, over 1,300 missiles."

"If you consider that it [their stock -ed.] decreased by half, you can roughly calculate how much is left."

Details: Anna Malyar added that these are air, sea and ground-based missiles.

She stressed that Russia manufactures its own missiles, but, as components were previously being imported,  the production process is currently hampered..

"As a result of the sanctions that are currently being imposed, they [Russian missile producers -ed.] will not be able to get components. For a while, they will be able to use what they had bought [before]. That will last for several months."

"But we must understand that the stockpile of missiles that they have already used to destroy our territory cannot be replenished so quickly. It will take several years to replenish [it]," Anna Malyar said.
