UKRAINE-CRISIS/RUSSIA-MISSILE (PIX, TV):Ukraine studies debris from new Russian ballistic missile
Vladimir Putin signs law granting debt forgiveness to new army recruits who enlist to fight in Ukraine
The scorched and crumbled pieces of debris were laid out in a hanger at a facility which conducts weapons forensics. Ukrainian experts study such debris to gain insight into Russian military supply chains, production and how to develop countermeasures. "These are preliminary conclusions and to say something more concrete requires time and careful study of the remains of the missile," said Ivan, one of the experts.
The US military has said the missile’s design is based on the longer-range RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile . The new missile was experimental and Russia likely possessed only a handful of them, they have said. Zelensky said on Sunday that Russian forces over the past week had struck Ukraine with more than 800 guided aerial bombs, about 460 attack drones and more than 20 missiles.
The measure underscores Russia’s needs for military personnel in the nearly three-year-old war, even after it fired a new intermediate-range ballistic missile last week.
