BERLIN, November 22. /TASS/. Alice Weidel, the co-chair of the Alternative for Germany political party, described the Kiev government’s decision to attack the Russian territory with UK-made Storm Shadow missiles as "irresponsible."

"The strike on Russia that involved UK-made Storm Shadow missiles, is an irresponsible step. A diplomatic search for balance and mutual understanding should be the goal, instead of further escalation," she wrote on the X social network.

Russia fired a nuclear-capable hypersonic intermediate-range Oreshnik ballistic missile with a conventional warhead at the Yuzhmash defense enterprise in Ukraine in retaliation to the attacks by US and British-made ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles on Russia, President Vladimir Putin said in a televised address on Thursday.
