President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has accused Russia of using a missile with intercontinental ballistic capabilities against Ukraine.
He stated this in a post on his X account on Thursday.
He however said investigations were ongoing to determine the exact capacity of the missiles used by Russia in its latest attack.
He said, “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. Today, it was a new Russian missile.
“Its speed and altitude suggest intercontinental ballistic capabilities. Investigations are ongoing.
“It’s clear that Putin is using Ukraine as a testing ground. It’s also clear that he is terrified of normal life next to him.
“A life where people live with dignity. A country that wants to be free and has the right to be independent.”
“Putin will do anything to keep his neighbor from slipping out of his grasp,” he added.
“And I thank every Ukrainian—men and women alike—who defend Ukraine from this evil with resilience, bravery, and strength. With dignity. Dignity. It’s one of the defining words for Ukraine. And it’s a word that will likely never again be spoken about Russia.”
This development comes amid escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia.
Recently, the United States approved for Ukraine the use of its long-range missiles inside Russia, further escalating the tension.
