        Russian President Vladimir
        Putin said on Thursday that Russia had launched a hypersonic
        medium-range ballistic missile attack on a Ukrainian military
        facility, and warned the West that Moscow could strike the
        military installations of any country whose weapons were used
        against Russia.
        
        Putin said the West was escalating the conflict in
        Ukraine by allowing Kyiv to strike Russia with long-range
        missiles, and that the conflict was becoming a global conflict.
        
        So Russia had conducted combat tests of the "Oreshnik"
        (the hazel) hypersnonic missile system in response to the
        aggressive actions of NATO countries against Russia, Putin said.
        
        "In response to the use of American and British
        long-range weapons, on November 21 of this year, the Russian
        armed forces launched a combined strike on one of the facilities
        of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine," Putin said.
        
        "In combat conditions, one of the newest Russian
        medium-range missile systems was tested, among other things. In
        this case, with a ballistic missile in a nuclear-free hypersonic
        equipment."
