THIS is the chilling moment a mysterious figure called a Russian spokeswoman to tell her to shut up about Vladimir Putin’s ICBM attack.
The Russian foreign ministry representative Maria Zakharova was ordered not to comment on the tyrant’s revenge blitz across Ukraine.
Russia has fired an intercontinental ballistic rocket for the first time, after Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles.
Kyiv launched US ATACMS missiles into Russia on Monday, following Joe Biden’s long awaited approval, and several British Storm Shadow rockets on Wednesday.
Russia warned it would “react accordingly” as the dictator launched a hypersonic Kinzhal – or Dagger missiles – in retaliation this morning.
A bizarre moment was caught at a press conference, later in the day.
Zakharova answered a call midway through her media briefing.
A senior diplomat was overheard sharing a chilling statement, as the press officer stood by the podium microphones.
She said: “Yes. Hello. I am having a briefing.”
The Man calling her said: “Masha [Maria], ballistic missile strikes on Yuzhmash [defence plant in Dnipro]
“The Westerners are talking about it now.
“Don’t comment at all.”
Astonishing footage has appeared to show the moment these ICBM missiles rained over the Ukrainian city of Dnipro in the early morning attack.
Unverified videos appear to show several fires across the country.
The cities of Kremenchuk and Myrhorod were also targeted in this strike.
If the use of the Rubezh is confirmed, it will be the first combat use of an ICBM in history.
Putin previously warned that he would give the green light to a fresh nuke doctrine if these long-range missiles were used by Ukraine.
The dictator threatened to use nuclear weapons against the West in retaliation.
Russia has issued countless similar threats in the past, invoking fears of possible nuclear escalation.
This nuke doctrine and use of ICBM’s has turned the stakes up a notch.
