MOSCOW: Russia’s defence ministry said on Monday its forces had shot down eight ballistic missiles fired by Ukrainian forces in the last 24 hours, Russian state media reported.
“Russian air defence forces shot down eight ballistic missiles, as well as six guided US-made JDAM bombs in the past 24 hours,” the ministry said.
The Kremlin has said it had noted that Donald Trump’s circle was speaking about a potential peace plan for Ukraine while the current US administration of Joe Biden was not, and was seeking to escalate the conflict instead.
