'A Monkey With Grenade': GUR Trolls Rogozin

Ukrainian intelligence has revealed data on the real missile stockpiles in the Russian Federation.

The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence has compared the former head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, to a monkey with a grenade after he presumably suggested hitting Ukraine with a space rocket.

The statement was made by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence, Andriy Yusov, on the air of the telethon.

"Before, they were talking about a monkey with a grenade, but now they are talking about Rogozin with a missile," Yusov said.

The Ukrainian intelligence official did not confirm or deny that Rogozin had made such a proposal, but suggested that the conversation might have taken place.

Yusov insisted that Rogozin was "a Russian Nazi obsessed with imperial ideas who is very far from the space industry".

"Once rockets were launched for scientific progress, to conquer space, and today these people can discuss how to use this heritage as a crowbar to kill civilians," he said.

"The Russians do not have the stockpiles of missile weapons that they had before 24 February 2022. We have seen them launch 100 or more missiles in a single attack. We have not seen that for a long time. Meanwhile, we repeat that the risks remain. This means that the country is preparing," Yusov said. Yesterday the German newspaper Bild reported that the former head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, had invited dictator Vladimir Putin to hit a major Ukrainian city with a space rocket.

Such a proposal was discussed in early January 2023.
