The United States delivered about 500 ATACMS missiles to Ukraine. Kyiv had used most of them in eastern Ukraine, before Biden gave Zelensky permission to strike deep into Russian territory, The New York Times said.
Today, Ukraine has only a few dozen such missiles left, perhaps 50 at most. Ukraine has launched at least 31 ATACMS missiles and 14 Storm Shadow missiles deep into Russian territory.
In turn, Russia has about 1,400 long-range missiles in stock: 350 Kalibr, 500 Oniks, more than 50 Kinzhal, more than 130 Iskander and more than 400 Kh-101, Kh-55 and Kh-35 class missiles, Andrey Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Defense Ministry of Ukraine said.
In addition, Russia is capable of producing 40-50 Iskander missiles, 30-50 Kalibr and about 50 Kh-101 missiles per month.
Sources at the Biden administration told Bloomberg that Ukraine would lose all of the captured territory in Russia's Kursk region by spring. Therefore, Kyiv will not be able to use it as a bargaining chip in future negotiations with Russia. Such negotiations will take many months before the parties to the conflict may conclude agreements. Ukraine has already lost about half of the Kursk region territory it captured as a result of the August invasion.
