Russia's strike on Ukraine was not an ICBM, but an 'experimental' medium-range ballistic missile, a US official said Thursday, playing down the significance of the attack. 'Russia may be seeking to use this capability to try to intimidate Ukraine and its supporters... but it will not be a game changer in this conflict,' the US official said.
Russia's strike on Ukraine was not an ICBM, but an"experimental" medium-range ballistic missile, a US official said Thursday, playing down the significance of the attack.
Ukraine accused Russia on Thursday of having launched a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile as part of a barrage on the central city of Dnipro. "Ukraine has withstood countless attacks from Russia, including from missiles with significantly larger warheads than this weapon," the official said.
The US official also recalled that President Joe Biden had announced plans earlier this year to provide Ukraine with hundreds of Patriot and AMRAAM missiles to strengthen its air defenses.
