A BBC source in the US administration reported some additional results of the analysis of the missile launched by Russia at the Ukrainian city of Dnieper. Initially in Kyiv it was identified as an intercontinental ballistic missile, but this assessment is not confirmed in the West.
Here's what our source says:
Russia launched an experimental medium-range ballistic missile at Ukraine.
The US takes all threats to Ukraine seriously, but it must be taken into account that Russia probably only has “a handful of these experimental missiles.”
Ukraine has withstood countless Russian attacks, including from missiles with much larger warheads.
Russia will try to use this new opportunity to intimidate Ukraine and its supporters and attract attention in the information space, but this will not change the course of the game.
Separately, an administration source indicated that the United States is supplying Ukraine with hundreds of Patriot and AMRAAM missiles as a priority, and these deliveries will continue.
