Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Thursday that Russia had launched a new intermediate-range ballistic missile at Ukraine, in retaliation for Ukraine’s use of American and British long-range weaponry against Russia. The attack comes just days after Kyiv struck inside Russia with Western-supplied weapons.
The specific impact of the missile strike is not yet fully known, as Ukraine claims that the target was infrastructure in the eastern city of Dnipro. The escalation of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine has raised concerns about the potential for further conflict and the impact on civilian populations in the region.
The use of ballistic missiles in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine highlights the growing tensions between the two countries, as well as the potential for further escalation. The international community has called for an immediate de-escalation of the situation and a return to dialogue to resolve the conflict peacefully.
As the situation continues to develop, it is important for all parties involved to prioritize diplomacy and seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. The use of military force only serves to further destabilize the region and puts the lives of civilians at risk.
