BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO members on Tuesday reaffirmed their support for Ukraine during talks with the country's officials held in response to Russia's launch of an experimental intermediate-range ballistic missile last week.

Putin said the missile attack was in response to Ukraine firing weapons supplied by the United States and Britain into Russia.

In a stark warning to the West, President Putin said the attack with the intermediate-range Oreshnik missile was in retaliation for Kyiv’s use of U.S. and British longer-range missiles.

The first combat use of Russia’s new IRBM — which Russian President Vladimir Putin called unstoppable — has drawn scrutiny from Western military experts.

The dust has settled in Dnipro, Ukraine, where investigators are analyzing the wreckage at a weapons factory struck by a new Russian intermediate-range ballistic missile last week. But the debate continues over the strategic impact of the missile,

The Air Force reported at dawn on 28 November that Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers had been scrambled from the Olenya airfield, and after 05:30 Russian missiles were spotted on Ukrainian territory.

Russia’s new ballistic missile flies on a high arc out of Earth’s atmosphere and releases multiple high-speed projectiles, making it challenging but not impossible to intercept

Vladimir Putin is threatening to launch a new intercontinental ballistic missile, which he calls "Oreshnik," against Ukraine, with Kyiv potentially being the target, the Russian media Kommersant reports.
