Russia Denies ICBM Use Amid Doctrine Changes

News summary

Maria Zakharova, Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, was directed during a live press conference via phone call not to comment on allegations of a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) strike on Ukraine. This incident followed claims from Ukraine that Russia launched an ICBM targeting Dnipro's Yuzhmash facility, although Russia has yet to confirm or comment on the use of such a missile. Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that the missile's speed and altitude matched ICBM characteristics, but Western officials have contradicted these claims, suggesting a different type of ballistic missile was used. The incident has sparked significant media attention and debate, with videos of Zakharova's phone call going viral online. This event coincides with heightened tensions as the U.S. eases restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range missiles and Russia revises its nuclear doctrine.
