The Ukrainian leadership also expressed concern about the new medium-range ballistic missile deployed by the Russian army.
In his Sunday evening video message, Zelensky emphasized that investigations into the wreckage of the new Russian missile deployed last week are still ongoing.
According to the Ukrainian president, the goal is to
get as much information as possible about the weapon and find an appropriate response to this “escalation step”.
There are air defense systems that can provide protection against such a threat. This is what we all need to focus on
Zelensky said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced earlier that the Oresnyk missile had been fired at the central city of Dnipro in response to attacks by Ukrainian forces against Russia.
According to the Russian leader, there is no effective defense against the new missile.
The President of Ukraine emphasized:
Ukraine is not a testing ground for weapons. Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state”
According to the Ukrainian army, air defense units destroyed more than 10 Russian drones during a night attack on Kiev. The head of the Kyiv military administration, Serhiy Popko, said that the drones approached the capital from different directions and that the air alert lasted for more than three hours.
