"Russia's Massive Missile Stockpile in Crimea Signals Impending Winter Offensive"

Russia has reportedly stockpiled 800 missiles in Crimea as part of its preparations for a second winter campaign in Ukraine. Concerns are growing that these missiles may be used to target critical Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, following a similar tactic employed by Russia last winter. The Kremlin's previous strikes on Ukrainian power and water infrastructure resulted in millions being left without electricity and heat. Ukraine is bracing for an aerial onslaught and is seeking to maintain its air-defense systems while also cutting off Russian forces' supply chains. President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned of likely Russian attacks on critical infrastructure this winter.
