UKRAINE, Feb. 4 — In the night of Feb. 3, Russia launched 562 air attack weapons at Ukraine with a total value of $324.8 million, which is equal to the annual budget of one of Russia’s cities, said Ukraine’s intelligence agency (HUR).

“These funds could support the Jewish Autonomous Oblast of the Russian Federation, with a population of about 144,000, or the city of Kaluga, with a population of over 320,000, for an entire year,” said HUR.

According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Russians used Iskander and RM-48U ballistic missiles, Zircon and Oniks hypersonic missiles, and Kh-101, Iskander-K, and Kh-22 cruise missiles to attack Ukraine on Feb. 3.

They also use Geran and Harpy drones and Gerbera decoy drones.

Ukrainian air defense destroyed 450 air targets, or 79.2% of all targets.

On Feb. 3, Russian forces attacked Kharkiv, Sumy, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and Vinnytsia regions, damaging houses and energy infrastructure, said the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
