Russia will step up strikes on Ukrainian storage bases where Western-supplied weapons are stored. This was stated by the Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu, quoted by “Reuters”.
In front of defense representatives, he also pointed out that Russia has “dispelled the myth of the superiority of Western weapons” and her forces have won the initiative at the front.
He noted the fact that Washington is ready to provide Ukraine with a new military aid package worth nearly $61 billion after a vote in the House of Representatives on Saturday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Kiev will soon receive more ATACMS long-range missile systems as part of the package. US officials specify that the aid will also include supplies of ammunition and interceptors for air defense systems.
“In proportion to the threats from the US and its allies, we will continue to improve the composition and structure of the armed forces and increase the production of the most popular weapons and military equipment,” Shoigu noted, adding: “We will increase the intensity of attacks against logistics centers and storage bases for Western weapons.”
Shoigu confirmed that this month, Russia captured the villages of Pervomaiskoye, Bogdanovka and Novomihailovka.
Yesterday, a Ukrainian commander denied the fall of the latter, saying his troops held 15-20% of the village.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the Russian marines participating in the operation to capture Novomihailovka were plazy western-made weapons, such as Swedish grenade launchers, American anti-tank Javelin and NATO electronic warfare systems.
