Thu Nov 21 21:22:13 UTC 2024: ## Zelenskyy Condemns Russia’s Use of New Ballistic Missile as “Severe Escalation”
**KYIV, Ukraine (November 22, 2024)** – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy strongly condemned Russia’s use of a new type of hypersonic ballistic missile in an attack on the city of Dnipro, calling it a “clear and severe escalation” of the ongoing war. The attack, which President Putin confirmed in a televised address, targeted a Ukrainian military facility. Zelenskyy took to X (formerly Twitter) to denounce the action, emphasizing that it demonstrates Russia’s lack of interest in peace negotiations.
Zelenskyy highlighted the attack as the latest in a series of escalatory moves by Russia, including the recent deployment of North Korean troops to Russian soil. He criticized the international community’s response, stating that the lack of strong condemnation sends a dangerous message that such actions are acceptable. He urged the world to respond decisively to prevent further escalation. The conflict, which began over 1000 days ago, shows no signs of ending.
