Washington will continue to provide military aid to Kiev, spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre has said. The US will not alter its policy regarding the Ukraine conflict in light of what Moscow described as a “combat test” of its new state-of-the-art intermediate-range ballistic missile against a Ukrainian military target, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at a news briefing. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Thursday that the nation’s military have launched a new hypersonic ballistic missile – the Oreshnik – targeting a military industrial facility in the Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk. The strike was in response to what Putin called the “aggressive actions of NATO member states against Russia.” “We were aware of Russia’s launch of an intermediate-range ballistic missile against Ukraine,” Jean-Pierre said later on Thursday. She also claimed that the US had “briefed Ukraine and our close allies and partners in recent days” about the impending strike.
