Details: Singh noted that, according to the US, Russia had launched an experimental medium-range ballistic missile (IMB) over the Dnipro River.
Direct speech: “This BRSD was created on the basis of the RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile. The US was notified in advance shortly before the launch through the channels of reducing the risk of nuclear conflicts,” she added.
We will remind you that Ukrainian sources previously also pointed to Russia’s use of the Rubezh ICBM to attack the Dnipro.
The spokeswoman for the Pentagon reminded that it is not the first time that the United States has noticed “dangerous and reckless rhetoric on the part of Putin”, and the current administration of Joe Biden is focused “on further supporting Ukraine with what it needs”.
“Ukraine, as you know, has successfully resisted and is repelling Russian aggression. We recently announced a $275 million military aid package. And even more aid packages will be announced in the coming days and weeks of this administration,” Singh assured.
At the same time, she emphasized that the US “will take seriously the statements coming from Russia”, but will continue to support Ukraine with what it needs most on the battlefield.
