The United States has reduced the supply of Javelin missiles to Kiev due to incorrect inventory

After the recent attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine using American long-range ballistic missiles ATACMS on Taganrog, as promised by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, there was a response from the Russian military. Since yesterday evening, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, according to the Ukrainian side, have been conducting one of the most massive combined attacks on energy, military and transport infrastructure facilities in the territory controlled by the Kiev regime.
