“According to the information we have, the number of these new experimental missiles is very limited,” the interlocutor said.
The leadership of the Ukrainian army believes that Russia’s goal is to intimidate Ukrainians.
“By all characteristics – both in terms of height and speed – they are superior to conventional missiles,” said a representative of the General Staff.
According to the interlocutor, negotiations are currently underway with the US side on the delivery of the relevant systems.
Two options are being considered to shoot down these missiles – either to upgrade the Patriot systems, or to acquire the THAAD systems.
Meanwhile, the representative of the Main Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Vadim Skibickis, said that Russia could have up to ten missiles, with which the city of Dnipro was attacked on Thursday.
Skibicki explained that in order for the missile to be mass-produced in Russia, at least ten test launches are required, and the Dnipro strike was also a kind of test.

Alex Johnson: (smiling) Welcome, everyone, to Time.news! Today, we have an exciting conversation lined up about the evolving landscape of news delivery in the digital age. Joining us is Dr. Emily Carter, a renowned expert in media studies and the author of “The Future of News.” Thank you for being here, Emily!
Dr. Emily Carter: Thank you for having me, Alex! I’m excited to dive into this topic.
Alex: Let’s get right into it. The rise of digital platforms has dramatically shifted how news is consumed. In your view, what are the most significant changes we’ve seen in this evolution?
Dr. Carter: Absolutely, Alex. One of the most notable changes is the speed at which news is reported. In the past, news had to go through several layers of verification before reaching the public. Now, we see real-time updates on social media and news apps, which is fantastic for immediacy but also raises concerns about accuracy.
Alex: That’s a great point. The tension between speed and accuracy can lead to misinformation. How do you think audiences can equip themselves to discern credible news sources in today’s media landscape?
Dr. Carter: Media literacy is crucial now more than ever. Audiences should cultivate a habit of cross-referencing stories from multiple sources, looking for established news organizations that adhere to journalistic standards. Additionally, simple fact-checking tools and platforms can be incredibly helpful in assessing the validity of information.
Alex: With social media algorithms heavily influencing what news people see, how do you suggest that traditional media adapt to this new environment while maintaining their credibility?
Dr. Carter: Traditional media have to embrace transparency. They need to explain their editorial processes and how they fact-check their information. Collaborating with tech platforms to prioritize factual news over sensational content is also vital. This means focusing on delivering nuanced reporting that engages readers rather than just driving clicks.
Alex: Speaking of engagement, we know that captivating headlines can sometimes overshadow the actual content. How can journalists ensure that they maintain the integrity of the news while still attracting an audience?
Dr. Carter: There’s a delicate balance, of course. Crafting engaging headlines is important, but they should accurately reflect the content of the article. Ethical journalism has to prevail; sensationalism can attract clicks initially, but over time, it erodes trust.
Alex: Trust is so essential. Looking toward the future, where do you see the role of journalists evolving as artificial intelligence and automation start to play larger roles in news production?
Dr. Carter: AI can be a fantastic tool for journalists, aiding in data analysis, sourcing information quickly, and even generating initial drafts of articles. However, the human touch—the interpretation, analysis, and ethical judgment—is irreplaceable. The best journalism will continue to combine the speed of technology with human insight and creativity.
Alex: Absolutely. Lastly, Dr. Carter, what excites you the most about the future of news?
Dr. Carter: I’m thrilled about the potential for diverse voices to emerge. With the barriers to entry lowered by digital platforms, we’re starting to see more varied perspectives in news telling. This diversity can enrich public discourse and foster a more informed society.
Alex: That’s a hopeful note to end on! Thank you so much for sharing your insights today, Emily. It’s been a pleasure having you on Time.news.
Dr. Carter: Thank you for having me, Alex. It’s been a fantastic conversation!
