Putin’s arsenal haunts Ukraine? 700 missiles in stock, 200+ new every month: Can Kyiv defend itself?

Russia’s growing missile arsenal is raising fresh concerns for Ukraine as the war continues to strain Kyiv’s air defences. Reports suggest Moscow may have around 700 missiles in reserve while producing more than 200 additional missiles every month. If these estimates are accurate, Russia could sustain repeated waves of strikes against Ukrainian cities, military facilities and critical infrastructure. The figures also raise questions about Ukraine’s ability to intercept incoming attacks as it faces pressure on its supplies of air-defence systems and interceptor missiles. How long can Kyiv keep defending its skies against Putin’s expanding missile capacity?
