Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reacted strongly to the recent Russian strike on Dnipro, expressing his concerns over the use of intercontinental ballistic missiles in the attack. Zelensky accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of resorting to such extreme measures out of fear, stating that the use of new missiles indicates Putin's apprehension.
In a video posted on Telegram, Zelensky condemned the attack, emphasizing that it demonstrated Russia's disregard for dignity, freedom, and human life. Ukraine's military has attributed the strike to the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile in the eastern region, while a western official clarified that the missile was ballistic but not classified as an ICBM.
The extent of the damage and any potential casualties resulting from the strike remain unclear at this time. Zelensky mentioned that investigations are ongoing to determine the exact type of missile used in the attack. However, he noted that the characteristics of the weapon, including its speed and altitude, align with those of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
The incident has heightened tensions between Ukraine and Russia, with Zelensky's response underscoring the gravity of the situation. As the situation continues to unfold, the international community is closely monitoring developments in the region.
