Background:

  • Earlier, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin stated that Russian military jets equipped with Kh-47 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles will be patrolling the airspace over the Black Sea on a regular basis.

  • Yurii Ihnat, spokesperson for Ukraine's Air Force, suggested that such statements may be aimed at increasing tension, but they do not radically change anything for the Defence Forces of Ukraine.
