UK Defense Ministry says Russian troops face critical shortages of ground-attack missiles

"In the Donbas, Ukrainian forces continue to repel Russian attempts to assault the Vuhlehirsk power plant," the UK Defence Ministry said, according to the information of the defense intelligence.

"Russian artillery remains focused on areas around the cities of Kramatorsk and Siversk," the ministry said.

"On July 21, 2022, Vitaly Kim, governor of Ukraine's Mykolaiv region, said that Russian forces had used seven air defence missiles to strike infrastructure, energy facilities and storage areas. Russia has increased its use of air defense missiles in a secondary ground attack mode because of critical shortages of dedicated ground-attack missiles," the ministry said.
