EU calls for more support to Ukraine: Renewed support follows Russia's use of new missile

The EU Parliament President is backing the use of longer-range missiles by Ukraine in its defence against Russia. Roberta Metsola wants Germany to quickly deliver its long-range Taurus system to Kyiv. But Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been staunchly opposed to sending the missile system. Metsola's statement follows Russia's use of a new type of missile in an attack on Thursday. It targeted Dnipro city in the central-east region of Ukraine. The hypersonic Oreshnik missile was used by Russia for the first time in the war. President Vladimir Putin says the weapon will continue to be tested. Al Jazeera’s Assed Baig has more from Kyiv.
