Russia attacked Ukraine with an intercontinental ballistic missile. This demonstrates another round of aggression by the Russian authorities.

Putin is not interested in peace talks. This was reported by 24 Kanal with reference to the representative of the European Union Peter Stano during a briefing.

How the EU responded to Russia's actions

We are, of course, monitoring reports that Russia used an intercontinental ballistic missile against a target or targets in Ukraine… Obviously, such an attack or attacks could be a clear sign of escalation on the part of Putin, he said.

According to him, European countries have repeatedly received clear signals about the Kremlin's intentions to escalate the situation. Vladimir Putin started this escalation by orchestrating a food and energy crisis.

Now the dictator is trying to use hunger and winter as instruments of pressure, carrying out attacks on energy facilities and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine with drones, guided bombs and missiles. The terror of the civilian population continues.

“He (Putin, – ed.) is again betting on the nuclear game with the recently updated nuclear doctrine of Russia. He brought North Korean soldiers to European soil. All this is a clear sign of his desire for escalation, and not the will to find a path to peace,” he added

Recall that Russia once again carried out an attack on Ukraine, according to monitoring channels, with a new Russian medium-range missile RS-26 “Rubezh” with very high speed and terrible striking force, which is equivalent to three Iskander-M missiles.
