Vladimir Putin sent a warning to "ruling elites" and confirmed Russia has tested a new intermediate range missile in a strike on Ukraine.

In a nationwide TV address on Thursday (21 November), the Russian president added that Moscow could use it against countries that allowed Kyiv to use their missiles to strike Russia.

Mr Putin said Thursday's strike on Ukraine was in response to Ukrainian strikes on the Russian territory in which US and British missiles were used earlier this week.
