Russia’s president Vladimir Putin has issued a fresh warning that Moscow’s RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), nicknamed “Satan II”, could soon be ready for deployment as its war in Ukraine rumbles on after 10 gruelling months.
In an end-of-year speech to military chiefs on Wednesday, Mr Putin hinted at the future involvement of Satan II in the conflict as he heralded Russian soldiers and defence chiefs as “heroes” and pledged further support for the armed forces.
