President Zelenskyy said Friday that his country was seeking more advanced air defense systems from its allies to respond to the new threat.
Earlier on Friday, China's foreign ministry again called for all parties to exercise calm and restraint in the war, after Russia confirmed it had launched ballistic missiles.
But in his video address Zelenskyy said, "This action by Russia is a mockery of the position of a country like China, a country in the southern hemisphere. And some leaders who always call for
Allied threat". Meanwhile Putin's hint on Thursday 21/11 about a possible attack on Western countries raised concerns that this war could escalate into a conflict.
In a bellicose address to the nation on Thursday, President Putin said Russia had the right to fire missiles at countries that allowed Kyiv to attack Russian territory using weapons.
He said this after the United States (US) and Britain gave Kyiv permission to do so.
The attack could be carried out by the new Oreshnik missile. Experts believe the missile flies at 10 times the speed of sound and can strike targets as far as 5,500 kilometers away.
