Zelensky Claims Ukraine Used Long-Range Weapons to Strike Russia More Than Once
Russian President Vladimir Putin previously made an address in which he stated that Ukraine had struck targets in the Kursk and Bryansk regions on November 19 using American long-range ATACMS missiles and British long-range Storm Shadow missiles. In response to the use of American and British weapons, Russia launched a combined strike on a Ukrainian military-industrial enterprises on November 21, hitting a large industrial complex in Dnepropetrovsk that produces missile technology and weapons. In combat conditions, one of the newest Russian medium-range missile systems, dubbed Oreshnik, was also tested, in this case — with a ballistic missile in non-nuclear hypersonic equipment.
