Volodymyr Horbach, the Executive Director of the Institute for the Transformation of Northern Eurasia, stated this on Espreso TV."The missile that hit the Cabinet of Ministers building is an Iskander-K. That is, it is a cruise missile, which is no less dangerous, but at least it is easier to shoot down than a ballistic one. Previously, cruise missiles of this type, which were directed, in particular, at Kyiv, were intercepted more successfully," Horbach noted.According to the Executive Director of the Institute for the Transformation of Northern Eurasia, most likely due to the overload of Kyiv’s air defense and missile defense systems, the cruise missile reached its target but did not explode."It can be assumed that the warhead did not function, and the fire broke out due to the ignition of the missile’s own fuel. Therefore, the consequences turned out to be not as terrible as they could have been — and as was obviously planned by the Russian side. This is a direct attack on the authorities of Ukraine," Horbach said.He added that representatives of diplomatic missions in Kyiv have already visited the site of the strike on the Cabinet of Ministers."This is very proper and important for the realization of who and what we are dealing with," Horbach emphasized.During Russia’s September 7 attack on Ukraine, it was not a Shahed drone but a 450 kg warhead cruise missile from the Iskander operational-tactical missile system that struck the Cabinet of Ministers building.
