Ukraine closed its parliament today for security reasons, one day after a Russian attack with a new hypersonic ballistic missile on a military facility in the city of Dnipro.
“A session of the Verkhovna Rada was scheduled for November 22, during which issues regarding the government were to be discussed, but it was canceled due to potential security concerns, reported the Ukrainian public media service Suspilne.”
The British newspaper The Independent reports that Ukrainian lawmakers were asked to move their families from parts of Kyiv where government institutions are located, and the next parliamentary session is not planned before December.
This morning, information about multiple explosions in Kyiv began circulating on social media.
Ukrainian agency TSN reported that detonations were registered in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Sumy regions.
