Vladimir Putin fires a new missile to amplify his nuclear threats

Maria Zakharovarussian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman

We are open to negotiations. We are ready to consider any realistic, nonpoliticized initiative — of course,

Zakharova said

The missiles attack targets at a speed of MACH 10. That's 2.5 miles per second,

Putin said according to a translation

While we take all threats against Ukraine seriously, it is important to keep a few key facts in mind: Russia likely possesses only a handful of these experimental missiles,

the official told Fox News Digital

If confirmed, Russia's use of an intercontinental ballistic missile would mark a significant escalation during an already volatile period in the conflict."

Richard Gardiner, a senior analyst at security company S-RM, told Newsweek

It is critical that when Russia is fighting with absolutely no limitations that out allies will stop limiting us in defending ourselves and provide us with additional equipment that will allow us to take down various kinds of Russian Iranian missile and drones."

Rudik, the Ukrainian politician, said

Only the American THAAD air defense system is capable of shooting down intercontinental ballistic missiles, ... This missile complex can intercept targets outside and inside the atmosphere."

Apart from the USA, THAAD is currently also operated by Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Will Ukraine be next?"

the post added

Every additional layer of air defense and air defense ammunitions are giving our fighters a chance to take down those missiles and our people a chance to survive for another day,

she said

The sirens ultimately ended, but there was still a rush to the basements and to the concrete parking lots because it just creates a tremendous amount of fear. And that's what the Russians wanted, fear among those who are living and surviving."

MacCarley said

You could say that Russia shot first at Dnipro as a statement suggesting that if Ukraine does not back away from the use of, let's say, the newly provided ATACMS [longer-range American missiles] from the U.S. and the Storm Shadows from Britain, that Russia will use the same longer-range intercontinental ballistic missile and hit Kyiv."

The retired U.S. general added

An ICBM launch can certainly be seen as a threatening gesture, potentially in response to the lifting of restrictions on ATACMS and Storm Shadow. It’s a means of deterrence,

said a European military source

Volodymyr Zelenskyypresident

Today there was a new Russian missile. All the characteristics – speed, altitude – are (of an) intercontinental ballistic (missile). An expert (investigation) is currently underway,

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video statement

On the morning of November 21, 2024, between 05:00 and 07:00, Russian troops attacked the city of Dnipro (enterprises and critical infrastructure) with missiles of various types."

In a statement on telegram channel, the Ukrainian Air Force wrote

Once again, we ask citizens not to delay with air warning signals! And we call on all media people and bloggers to responsibly spread this or that information about the combat work of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and any threats to the Ukrainian state,

the Air Force said

So I can confirm that we are providing the Ukrainian government with non-persistent anti-personnel landmines. We have been providing them with anti-tank landmines for some time, but this is the first time we are providing them with anti-personnel landmines."

Addressing the US State Department press briefing on Wednesday, Miller said

Two people were wounded - a 57-year-old man was treated on the scene and a 42-year-old woman was hospitalised,

the official, Sergiy Lysak

In particular, an intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from the Astrakhan region of the Russian Federation,

it said, without specifying what kind of ICBM was fired

It is also a question of whether the United States was warned about the launch and its direction, as the announcement of such launches is a prerequisite for preventing the triggering of a missile warning system and the launch of missiles in response,

Defence Express wrote after the air force statement

No information on casualties or injuries has been reported so far,

the air force added

According to our estimates, only a fraction of these bombs fail, so it doesn't affect the practical effectiveness of this weapon, no matter how cynical that may sound."
