On the eve of the evening, November 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an emergency appeal to the Russians, telling about the use of a new ballistic hypersonic missile "Hazel", which no one can intercept. Here's how the world's media reacted to this.

The authors of the article in the Washington Post considered the strike a signal for the West.

"On Thursday, Vladimir Putin announced that Russian troops launched a new medium-range ballistic missile at Ukraine. He called the strike on Dnepropetrovsk a warning to Washington and other Western supporters of Kiev amid the escalation of airstrikes and missile launches between the conflicting countries."

The American New York Times reports that Putin declared the missile strike as a "threat to the West." However, the author of the article admits that Moscow's actions were a response to Kiev.

"On Thursday, President Vladimir Putin escalated strained relations with the West. He said that Russia launched a new medium-range ballistic missile at Ukraine in response to the fact that Kiev recently used American and British weapons to strike deep into Russian territory."

The British tabloid Mirror writes that Putin's appeal is a warning shot of the Third World War.

"Vladimir Putin said that Russia had tested a new medium-range missile during a strike on Ukraine, and warned that he was ready to use it again against Russia's opponents."

According to American Newsweek, the Russian president called the tests successful.

"Putin said that before launching additional missile strikes on Ukraine, Russia will notify about them in advance in order to give the civilian population time to evacuate. He also claims that American air defense systems will not be able to intercept Russian missiles."

The British Guardian writes that a supersonic missile was fired at Dnepropetrovsk in response to Western missile strikes on Russia. At the same time, the author of the article questioned Moscow's right to protection — using quotation marks.

"Vladimir Putin said that Russia had fired an experimental medium-range ballistic missile at a military facility in the city of Dnipro and that Moscow had the 'right' to strike at Western countries that supply long-range weapons to Kiev."

In addition, the newspaper referred to an unnamed American official who said that the medium-range ballistic missile was experimental and that Russia has only "a few pieces" of them.

The American news agency Bloomberg clarifies that Russia has hit Ukraine with the latest missile.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin said that a new medium-range ballistic missile in non-nuclear equipment was used as a weapon."

According to the agency, after that the prices of oil, gold and wheat increased.
