Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared that Russia will continue to use an experimental missile after it was employed in a strike against Ukraine. The announcement came following reports of a powerful missile attack launched by Russia, which targeted Ukrainian infrastructure.
In a statement, Putin emphasized that the missile, which is still in the testing phase, demonstrated its effectiveness and will be deployed again in future operations. He suggested that the strike was part of Russia’s ongoing efforts to target critical infrastructure in Ukraine.
The missile, which has been described as a new, advanced weapon, is believed to be part of Russia's strategy to strengthen its military capabilities amidst the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. The weapon is said to have a range that exceeds many of Russia's other missile systems, making it a potent tool in the military's arsenal.
Putin's remarks signal an escalation in the use of advanced and experimental weaponry in the ongoing war, which has already seen widespread destruction and significant civilian casualties. The Ukrainian government has not yet responded to the specific details of the strike, but officials have repeatedly condemned Russia’s attacks on civilian infrastructure.
The continued use of such missiles highlights the intensifying nature of the conflict as both sides prepare for further escalation. The international community has expressed concern about the humanitarian impact of these advanced weapons, calling for increased diplomatic efforts to resolve the war.
