There was new Russian missile today. All characteristics are of intercontinental ballistic missile, - Zelenskyy. VIDEO

On the Day of Dignity and Freedom, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on Russia's intercontinental ballistic missile strike.

The head of state said this in a video message, Censor.NET reports.

"On 21 November, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Dignity and Freedom - it commemorates two Ukrainian revolutions and honours what Ukrainians are really like. Today, our crazy neighbour has once again shown what he really is and how he despises dignity, freedom, and people's lives in general. And how afraid he is.

He is so afraid that he is already using new missiles. And he is looking around the world for other places to find weapons: either in Iran or in North Korea. Today there was a new Russian missile. It has all the characteristics - speed, altitude - of an intercontinental ballistic missile. We are currently conducting examinations. It is obvious that Putin is using Ukraine as a testing ground. It is obvious that Putin is afraid when there is just a normal life next to him. When people simply have dignity. When a country simply wants to be and has the right to be independent," the statement said.

According to Zelenskyy, Putin is doing everything he can to prevent his neighbour from escaping his grasp.

"And I thank all Ukrainians, all Ukrainian women, who are defending Ukraine from this evil - steadfastly, bravely, strongly. And with dignity. This is one of the main words about Ukraine - dignity. And this is a word that will probably never be used about Russia again," he concluded.
