Описание: LIVE: Ukraine Claims Russia Fired Ballistic Missile In Fresh Escalation | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Tensions are escalating rapidly in the 33-month-long war between Ukraine and Russia, with both sides showing no signs of restraint. A day after Ukraine reportedly launched British-made Storm Shadow long-range missiles into Russian territory for the first time, Moscow appears to have retaliated with an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) targeting the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday. However, Russia has yet to officially acknowledge the use of such a weapon. Security experts noted that this could mark the first military deployment of an ICBM, a strategic weapon primarily designed to deliver nuclear warheads and a key component of Russia's nuclear deterrent. According to the Ukrainian air force, the missile was launched from Astrakhan, a Russian region over 700 kilometers (435 miles) from Dnipro in central-eastern Ukraine. The air force did not specify the missile type or the nature of the warhead it carried. This comes after Ukraine’s use of US-made ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles to strike targets within Russian territory earlier this week, despite repeated warnings from Moscow that such actions would represent a significant escalation. The United States and the United Kingdom have not publicly confirmed allowing Ukraine to use these advanced weapons. Meanwhile, US President-elect Donald Trump has hinted at potentially halting military aid to Ukraine and may push Kyiv towards peace talks. On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma brings you the full story.
