Russia launches intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine

ai generated text

According to reports, Putin has stated that Moscow has the right to strike countries whose weapons are used by Ukraine to hit Russian territory. He warned that the conflict is taking on a "global character" and that Russia could use its new intermediate-range missiles against military facilities of any country that has allowed its weapons to be used against Russia.

1 / 2
    1. These are rockets that are fired and then guided to a target via an electronic system, which requires the world's most advanced technology and satellite communications capability.
    1. We have stressed in the context of our doctrine that Russia is taking a responsible position to make maximum effort not to allow such a conflict.
    1. Given the nature and level of threats posed by such western military facilities, the missile defence base in Poland has long been added to the list of priority targets for potential destruction which, if necessary, can be executed with a wide range of advanced weapons.
    2. We have always preferred to, and now are ready to resolve all disputed questions with peaceful means but we are also ready for any scenario.
    3. A regional conflict in Ukraine previously provoked by the West has acquired elements of a global character.
    4. Modern air defence systems... cannot intercept such missiles. That's impossible.
    5. As of today there are no means of counteracting such a weapon.
    1. If it is confirmed that specifically an intercontinental ballistic missile was used, then we believe that it can be said that Putin's Russia has degraded to the status of North Korea, which from time to time...fairly regularly fires such missiles, frightening its neighbours, frightening the world.
    1. Today, our insane neighbor has once again revealed its true nature—its disdain for dignity, freedom, and human life itself. And, most of all, its fear. Fear so overwhelming that it unleashes missile after missile, scouring the globe for more weapons—whether from Iran or North Korea.
    2. Obviously, Putin is using Ukraine as a testing ground. Obviously, Putin is terrified when normal life simply exists next to him.
    1. This was new type of lethal capability that was deployed on the battlefield, so that was certainly of concern.
    2. The US was briefly notified before the launch via nuclear risk reduction channels.
    1. Signalling -- signalling to the Ukrainians. We've got stuff that outrages you. But really signaling to the West 'We're happy to enter into a competition around intermediate range ballistic missiles. P.S.: These could be nuclear tipped. Do you really want to take that risk?
