Sybiga called on partners to transfer systems capable of intercepting Oreshnik-type missiles

“Russia’s use of an intermediate-range ballistic missile is its typical blackmail. Putin is trying to intimidate everyone who supports Ukraine””, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org

Ukraine’s partners “should respond to Russian blackmail by transferring to the country air defense systems capable of shooting down medium-range ballistic missiles of the Oreshnik type,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiga on the Kh.

“Russia’s use of an intermediate-range ballistic missile is its typical blackmail. Putin is trying to intimidate everyone who supports Ukraine,” he wrote.

According to Sybiga, “Ukraine’s partners should do the opposite: reject blackmail, increase support and strengthen Ukraine’s air shield with systems capable of intercepting such missiles.”

On the evening of November 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the “successful test in combat conditions” of the newest medium-range Oreshnik missile. According to him, the forces of the Russian Federation struck the Dnieper with this ballistic missile with non-nuclear hypersonic equipment.

Putin said that this was “a response to the aggressive actions of NATO countries towards Russia” – the permission of Ukraine to strike with Western missiles on the territory of the Russian Federation and such strikes in the Bryansk and Kursk regions. He also did not rule out new such strikes.

The Russian leader also said that in the future, civilians will be informed about plans to use Oreshnik.

The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that Russian troops attacked the Dnipro with various types of missiles, including launching an intercontinental ballistic missile. According to the local authorities, an industrial enterprise was damaged in Dnipro as a result of the strike, two fires also broke out in the city, and three people were injured.

This was preceded by the closure of a number of embassies due to security concerns. On November 20, the US Embassy in Ukraine announced that it had received “specific information” about a possible significant Russian air attack on November 20. As a precaution, the embassy was closed. Subsequently, the diplomatic missions of Spain, Italy and Greece also announced the closure for visitors on November 20.

Against this background, social networks spread information about the possibility of launching an attack on Ukraine with the RS-26 “Rubezh” ballistic missile. The launches were supposed to be from a training ground in the Astrakhan region. No such launches were reported on November 20.
