This was announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"Following my instructions, the minister of defense is already meeting with our partners about air defense systems that can protect lives from new risks," Zelenskyy said.

He also pointed out that when countries use others, not just for terror, but to test new missiles through acts of terror, "this is clearly an international crime."

The president stressed that the world must respond in a way that makes Putin truly fear expanding the war and face the real consequences of his actions.

  • On Thursday, November 21, the Russian army launched an attack on Ukraine using MiG-31K and Tu-95 aircraft, targeting the Dnipropetrovsk region.
  • On November 21, Russian forces launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, along with Kinzhal and Kh-101 missiles, at Ukraine. Ukrainian air defense destroyed six targets.
  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that on November 21, Russian forces used a new missile against Ukraine, possibly an intercontinental ballistic missile.
  • Ukraine's Foreign Ministry is pursuing diplomatic measures and leveraging UN and NATO mechanisms in response to Russia's use of a new missile resembling an intercontinental ballistic missile.
  • Valentyn Badrak, Director of the Center for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies, a military expert, believes that Putin's actions are aimed at political bargaining to make him a winner in the eyes of the Russian audience.
