KYIV (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy addressed Russian President’s Vladimir Putin’s missile duel offer during a press conference at a European Council meeting on Thursday.

“Do you think he is a sane person? Bastards,” Zelenskiy said about Putin’s suggestion to test air defences by launching Russia’s new Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile at a target in Ukraine.
