The day before, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a session of the CSTO Collective Security Council in Astana that Russia had launched 100 missiles and 466 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at targets in Ukraine over the past two days. Putin emphasized that all these strikes were responses to the US ballistic missile attacks by Kiev.

Earlier, on November 21, the Russian president said that Ukraine had used Western long-range weapons against the Russian state, causing the regional conflict to acquire elements of a global conflict. He also said that one of Russia's newest medium-range missile systems, the Oreshnik ballistic missile, had been tested under combat conditions.

The special operation to protect Donbass, which began on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was taken against the background of the aggravated situation in the region.
