(UPDATE) KYIV — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday promised more combat test-firing of an experimental hypersonic missile launched at Ukraine, as his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed for updated air-defense systems to meet the new threat.
The latest statements from the two leaders came hours after Ukraine's parliament shut down over heightened fears of a missile attack.
