Russia Has Enough Resources to Wage War Through 2028, Ukraine's Military Intelligence Says
- Ukraine's military intelligence chief Ivashchenko warned that Russia may have sufficient resources to continue the war through 2027 and 2028, with intensified attacks on energy infrastructure expected during the coming winter.
- Russia is preparing combined attacks using ballistic and cruise missiles alongside new loitering munitions identified as Banderol and Dan-T, which can travel at speeds of 500 to 700 kilometers per hour.
- Russian forces lose an average of 1,200 to 1,400 personnel daily, with figures sometimes reaching 1,500; more than 60% of Russians now oppose the war due to worsening economic conditions, Ivashchenko noted.
- Countering these threats requires advanced missile defense systems and adequate interceptor supplies; President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukrainian diplomats prioritize securing PAC-3 interceptor missiles for Patriot air defense systems.
- Ukraine intends to restrict Russia's access to military production materials, including electronic components and machine tools, with intelligence officials urging effective enforcement of sanctions to degrade Russian war capabilities.
