On November 21, Russia struck Dnipro with an intercontinental ballistic missile. As a result of the attack, an industrial enterprise was damaged, and two fires broke out in the city.
Russian President Vladimir Putin later confirmed in a statement that Russia used a new missile against Ukraine. However, he stated that it was the "Oreshnik," while in Ukraine, it is claimed that it was indeed a "Rubizh" missile. Interestingly, during a briefing, a call was made to the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Zakharova, prohibiting her from commenting on the ICBM strike on Ukraine. After this, Putin delivered his statement.
Putin claimed that the strike was a response to attacks from Ukraine using long-range weapons supplied by the USA and the UK. This refers to strikes on the Bryansk region. In Putin's view, this marks a new stage of escalation. Furthermore, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Moscow had warned Washington in advance via the automatic nuclear de-escalation hotline about the launch of the hypersonic missile.
