Russia will intensify attacks on logistics centers and storage facilities of Western weapons in Ukraine, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday.

In proportion to the threats posed by the United States and its allies, Russia will continue to improve its military composition and produce more of the most in-demand weapons and military equipment, he said during the defense ministry's board meeting.

Noting NATO's increased activities in the Arctic and Russia's western and northwestern borders, Shoigu said Russia would take adequate response measures.

He added that the recently re-established Moscow and Leningrad military districts have begun carrying out relevant tasks since March 1.
