Source Reports
What each source reports. "Source tone" reflects the language used by the outlet — it is not an independent verification.
Putin offered Ukraine surrender, freeze the conflict, shift allegiance to Russia, and give up independence
The so-called 'Istanbul agreements' are Russia's ultimatum to surrender Ukraine and do not exist in reality
Putin said Russia would test the Oreshnik missile, a new missile, for example somewhere over Kyiv, and that they would test air defense to see what would happen
Putin claimed that no one can intercept the Oreshnik and proposed to 'test this in Kyiv'
The range of the Oreshnik is up to 5,500 kilometers and new anti-missile systems in Poland will not intercept the Oreshnik in the air
On November 21, Russians struck Dnipro with the Oreshnik and Ukraine has no means to intercept this missile
