Russia has amassed 10,000 S-300 missiles for strikes against Ukraine. This gives the aggressor country an advantage in the war, states President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with The New York Times.

"This is their huge advantage. The shelling of Kharkiv, all the deaths of people, children — this is their huge advantage. The daily use of bombs — this is their huge advantage. The use of S-300 systems — they have accumulated 10,000 S-300 missiles. Ten thousand — this is their advantage again," said Zelenskyy.

He also noted that there are suitable weapons in the world capable of countering Russia's attacks, but Ukraine does not have enough of them.

"Are there suitable weapons in the world to counter this? Yes. Are there suitable weapons better than what Russia has in its arsenal? Yes. Does Ukraine have both of these elements — sufficient quantity and permission? No," emphasized the President.

Earlier, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine provided information about Russia's missile reserves and production dynamics.
