Russia stockpiles 700 ballistic missiles for winter strikes; Ukraine lacks Patriot interceptors

Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) estimates Russia has amassed ~700 ballistic missiles, hundreds of maneuvering missiles, and over 6,000 Gerañ drones, deliberately saving them since August for a winter campaign against Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Kyiv still lacks Patriot interceptor missiles, leaving critical infrastructure vulnerable. This signals an imminent escalation in strikes on Ukraine's power grid, with potential humanitarian and economic fallout.
