New weapons for Kiev – Putin: will also intercept ATACMS missiles

Date:

The Ukrainian military apparently has American-made ATACMS long-range missiles and has already used them successfully against the Russian occupiers. According to a corresponding report from Kiev on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the US of “further prolonging” the suffering of the Ukrainian people and delving deeper into the conflict. At the same time, the Kremlin chief assured: “We will also defend ourselves against these missiles.”

“First, of course it causes damage; this creates an additional threat. Secondly, we can of course repel these attacks,” Putin said at a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday, where he attended a summit on China’s “New Silk Road” international infrastructure project. At the same time, he emphasized: “But the most important thing is that, on the whole, this cannot fundamentally change the situation at the front.”

Permanent patrols with Kinschal missiles on board
At the press conference, Putin also announced permanent fighter jet patrols in the Black Sea. The air force would fly MiG-31 aircraft over neutral waters. The jets will be equipped with Kinschal (Dagger) hypersonic missiles.

Preparations for Putin’s visit to North Korea
While Putin is in China, his Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is apparently preparing the announced state visit to North Korea. Lavrov’s two-day visit comes a month after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s visit to Russia (see photo below). He invited Putin to Pyongyang and also spoke with the Russian president about military cooperation. The US government and its Asian allies are viewing the rapprochement between Kim and Putin with concern. The US says North Korea has supplied weapons to Russia for the war in Ukraine, but Russia has denied this.

Russian news agency TASS reported that Lavrov may inform North Korea about the results of Putin’s visit to China. Discussions could also take place about a possible visit from Putin. Putin and Kim, who call each other “comrade,” toasted their friendship last month with Russian wine.
