Putin admits striking Ukraine with an intercontinental ballistic missile
Today Vladimir Putin gave an unscheduled live address to the nation. He claimed that on Nov. 19, six ATACMS missiles — and on Nov. 21, several Storm Shadow missiles — had been used by Ukraine for strikes against targets in Russia’s Kursk and Bryansk regions.
According to Putin, Russia retaliated on Nov. 21 with a combined strike against a Ukrainian defense industry facility. In addition, “a field test was conducted in combat conditions” for one of Russia's newest medium-range weapon systems: a nuclear-free hypersonic ballistic missile. “Our engineers named it 'Oreshnik' [‘Hazel’],” Putin declared with a smile.
