Ambassadors from Ukraine and NATO’s 32 members meet Tuesday in Brussels over Russia’s firing last week of an experimental hypersonic intermediate-range missile.

Axar.az reports that, citing AFP, Russia on Thursday carried out a strike on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro which President Vladimir Putin said was a test of its new Oreshnik missile.

Putin said the missile attack was in response to Ukraine firing weapons supplied by the United States and Britain into Russia.

Kyiv says it hopes to get “concrete and meaningful outcomes” after calling the meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council.

But diplomats and officials at NATO have played down expectations for any major results from the consultations on Tuesday afternoon at the alliance’s Brussels headquarters.

The most that is expected is a reiteration of NATO’s earlier insistence that Moscow’s deployment of the new weaponry will not “deter NATO allies from supporting Ukraine”.
