Russian missile carriers remain on standby unless planning mass attack

Russians have refrained from withdrawing missile carriers from duty unless preparing for a mass missile-drone attack, the Ukrainian Southern Defense Forces spokesperson, Natalia Humeniuk, said on the national television on April 16.

“We have observed this trend several times,” she said.

Humeniuk suggested that this behavior might be linked to a change in leadership, with such actions serving as a test.

She noted the presence of missile carriers in the Black Sea.

“It should be understood that even when stationed at their bases, they remain dangerous,” Humeniuk said.

“The level of danger they pose remains incredibly high. Whether they will be deployed for combat duty or not is determined within a matter of hours.”

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
