Russian President Vladimir Putin said the country will deploy its nuclear-capable Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile by the end of the year, as Moscow and Kyiv resumed strikes following a short-term ceasefire.
The military conducted a successful test of the weapon, the commander of the Strategic Missile Forces, Sergey Karakayev, told the Russian leader during a televised meeting on Tuesday. He said the first regiment equipped with the missile would be put on duty by the end of the year in the Krasnoyarsk region.
