Investing.com — On Tuesday, Moscow reported that Ukraine launched six U.S. ATACMS ballistic missiles, six British Storm Shadow cruise missiles and at least 146 drones at Russia. Moscow said the attack would not go unanswered.
The first time Ukraine launched British ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles at Russia was last year. In response to this, Moscow fired a new intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile, known as the “Oreshnik” or Hazel, at Ukraine on November 21.
The Russian Defense Ministry says all Western missiles fired by Ukraine at the Bryansk region have been intercepted. The ministry also reported that 146 drones were shot down outside the war zone. Additionally, two more Storm Shadow missiles were intercepted over the Black Sea.
The Defense Ministry said the actions of the kyiv regime, supported by its Western supporters, would be responded to.
In November, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that the conflict in Ukraine was moving toward a global conflict. This followed the United States and Britain authorizing Ukraine to launch their missiles deep into Russian territory for the first time.
President-elect Donald Trump has called for a ceasefire and negotiations to quickly end the war, leaving Washington’s long-term support for Ukraine uncertain.
