Russia's attack on Ukraine with a medium-range ballistic missile is a clear violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and independence, Cristina Gherasimov, Moldova's deputy prime minister for European integration, told a press conference, IPN reports.

"Our message to our European partners is to continue to support Ukraine, because Ukraine is fighting for all of us, for Europe", Cristina Gherasimov said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday evening, November 21, in a speech to the nation that Russia launched a hypersonic medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile attack on a Ukrainian military installation and warned the West that Moscow could strike military installations of any country whose weapons are used against Russia.
