"Today there was a new Russian missile. All the characteristics – speed, altitude – are (of an) intercontinental ballistic (missile). An expert (investigation) is currently underway," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a video statement.
The Ukrainian air force said the missile was fried from the Russian region of Astrakhan, more than 700 km (435 miles) from Dnipro in central-eastern Ukraine. It did not specify what kind of warhead the missile had or what type of missile it was. There was no suggestion it was nuclear-armed.

Two people were wounded as a result of the attack, and an industrial facility and a rehabilitation center for people with disabilities were damaged, according to local officials.

2 people wounded? buildings damaged but not destroyed? does not seem like an economical use of an ICBM.

Why would he waste the intercontinental missile for something that can be reached with simple long range-, cruise- and even short range missiles.
Does he think the west will take this as a warning? I feel like we mostly read this as a desperate sign of running out of ammo (short range missiles) instead.

Russians are a wonderful people. With a terrible government.
I wish the Ukrainians all the best.

Couple of things that stuck out to me…
  1. some western official was super quick to say no it was just a ballistic missile even though according to Ukraine it doesn’t fit the flight path or speed
  2. what a waste of a missile by Russia. ICBMs I mean it’s in the name intercontinental why would you use it to strike your neighbor? If they think it will scare the US, Europe, or Ukraine I mean that’s just not the case?!
Seems like another stupid move by Russia

Honest to god whatever was launched was either a weapon that had little to no explosives or was a dud based on the photos

At this point there is little I trust when it comes to global conflicts. So much BS tactics designed to manipulate the masses and manufacturer consent. I just pray these clowns don't start WW3 in a quest for whatever they are going after.

  1. I actually read here a message to Europeans and US to remind them that they are vulnerable.
On a related note, all six missiles fired into Russia were intercepted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7l7LoDU5N0

Have you seen the pictures of the after the attack? Or hear the cookoffs going on? What did Russia KO their own base cause it’s not doing to swell
Also launching an ICBM to Europe or the US will be in the air for a while and Patriot systems are designed to shoot them down so it doesn’t really make sense
