Did Russia Fire an ICBM at Ukraine?
Timothy Birdnow
The U.S. is denying claims by Ukraine that Russia fired an ICBM.
Zelensky made the claim in a recent statement. Russian officials refuse comment.
It would be a waste of an ICBM and seems unlikely; ICBM's are designed primarily to hit long-range targets like the U.S. and generally carry nuclear weapons.
IF it is true it means Russia is out of missiles and thus almost worn out.
The U.S. would have good reason to deny it if true, and for a variety of reasons. One reason is that they would fear this could escalate the war further. Also, it would show the world the war was coming to an end and could lead to a dropoff in pressure on Russia.
Either way I don't believe it.
