Shelling of Ukraine on November 21
Let us remind you that today, November 21, Russia hit Ukraine with a new type of weapon. First, the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces wrote it the occupiers used an intercontinental ballistic missile.
But Russian dictator Vladimir Putin later said so his troops struck the Dnepropetrovsk region with the Oreshnik medium-range missile system. Thus the occupiers tested it.
CNN, citing an unnamed US official, wrote that The US warned Ukraine in advance of the threat of an attack from an experimental Russian missile.
At the same time, as Defense Express writes, actually the occupiers could hit Ukraine with the Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missileand Moscow invented the “Oreshnik” myth to frighten the West.
