British media: Ukraine uses British "Shadow of the Storm" missiles to attack targets in Russia.
According to an anonymous Western official quoted by the British media on the 20th, Ukraine used the British "Shadow of the Storm" cruise missile to attack targets in Russia that day.
The "Shadow of the Storm" cruise missile is manufactured by the European Missile Group. This type of missile is launched by a fighter plane with a range of more than 250 kilometers. In May last year, Britain confirmed that it had provided the Ukrainian army with the "Shadow of the Storm" missile. Britain was also the first country to provide cruise missiles to the Ukrainian army, but at that time this missile was only used to attack Russian military targets in Ukraine.
The British media "The Times" quoted sources as saying on the 20th that the ban on Ukraine’s use of British "Shadow of Storm" missiles on Russian territory is likely to have been lifted as Ukraine uses the "Shadow of Storm" missiles to attack targets in Russia.
Regarding the relevant media reports, the British Prime Minister’s spokesman said on the same day that he would not comment on this. A spokesman for the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said that there was no information to disclose. The Russian side has not responded yet.
The multinational embassies in Uzbekistan announced the closure.
On the 20th, local time, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine issued a security alert at the official website, saying that it had received information that a large-scale air raid might take place on the 20th. Due to prudent consideration, the embassy will be closed and the embassy staff have been instructed to take refuge on the spot. In addition, the Spanish, Italian and Greek embassies in Ukraine also announced the temporary closure of their embassies. In response, the Ukrainian Ministry of National Defense responded.
It is false news that Ukraine said that Russia will carry out intensive missile strikes against Ukraine.
In response to the announcement of the closure of embassies in Ukraine by many countries, the General Intelligence Department of the Ministry of National Defense of Ukraine issued a circular on the 20th, saying that the news about Russia’s intensive missile attack on Ukraine that had been circulated on social media was false and was a psychological war initiated by Russia.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry also issued a statement on the same day, saying that in the past 1,000 days, Russia’s threat to Uzbekistan has been the norm, and the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry hopes that partners will not overreact.
Peskov: The US government is fully committed to delaying the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Recently, the United States has frequently "arched fire" in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. After allowing Ukraine to use American-made long-range weapons such as the Army tactical missile system to attack deep targets in Russia, the United States has approved the supply of anti-infantry mines to Ukraine and granted Ukraine a large amount of military support. In response, Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov said on the 20th that the outgoing US administration is making every effort to delay the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Russia says it will not let NATO countries participate in the fight against Russian territory.
Naryshkin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency, said on the 20th that Russia would not let individual NATO countries take part in attacking Russian territory, and these countries would be punished.
Naryshkin also said that Russia’s updating of the basic policy of Russia’s nuclear deterrent actually ruled out the possibility of Russia’s strategic failure on the battlefield. Naryshkin said that western countries have realized that they need to exercise more restraint in their relations with Russia so as not to involve themselves in disastrous military conflicts.
