This latest clash, utilizing US ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles, has created serious tension between the nations.
The Kremlin has firmly warned that this aggression will not go unnoticed.
Ukraine’s recent attack targeted multiple strategic locations in southern Russia, including a military airfield in the Rostov region.
Russia, which has been bombing the Ukrainian population for nearly three years now, accuses Ukraine of using the supplied missiles for this aggressive maneuver.
Some of these missiles were intercepted, but the use of Western technology has Russia seething.
President Vladimir Putin did not mince words as he promised a powerful response, hinting at the potential use of fearsome hypersonic ballistic missiles against Ukraine if such attacks persist.
In this high-stakes geopolitical poker game, both Russia and Ukraine have ramped up aerial assaults—a worrying trend that threatens stability.
Tensions have further escalated as both nations gear up for potential ceasefire talks amid increasing hostilities.
Each side seeks to fortify its negotiating position, prompting deadly aerial assaults.
Russia reportedly launched a massive attack, expending 93 cruise and ballistic missiles alongside 200 drones, a testament to its reluctance to back down easily.

He stresses European unity against Russian aggression. Zelensky’s firm stance reflects Ukraine’s determination to stand resilient, with Western allies rallied in support.
“The actions of the Kyiv regime, supported by its Western curators, will not go unanswered,” stated Russia’s defense ministry, cited by The Insider Paper.
As the situation remains precariously balanced on a knife’s edge, all eyes watch for the next step in this intense conflict.
