Putin's Hypersonic Missile Scare? U.S Concedes Ukraine May Be Forced into Negotiations with Russia

The Washington Post reported that U.S. officials are quietly acknowledging that Ukraine may soon have no choice but to negotiate with Russia, potentially sacrificing territory it considers its own. As Russian forces continue to reclaim land, particularly in the Kursk Region, and with Donald Trump set to return to the White House in January, Ukraine finds itself in a weakened position after nearly three years of conflict. The Biden administration's strategic shift includes authorizing the use of long-range ATACMS missiles and banned landmines to bolster Ukraine’s military stance ahead of any potential talks with Russia. Despite Ukraine’s rejection of territorial concessions, U.S. officials and European allies are concerned that Kyiv might have to compromise, especially as Moscow responds with increasingly advanced weapons, including hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Russian President Putin warns of severe retaliation for any further escalation by Ukraine or its international backers #PutinMissileThreat #UkraineNegotiations #USConcedes #UkraineRussiaWar #HypersonicMissile #BidenUkraineStrategy #UkraineTerritory #KremlinTactics #TrumpWhiteHouse #USRussiaRelations #ATACMSMissiles #UkraineConflict #DiplomacyOrWar #RussiaUkraineCeasefire #ZelenskyRussia ~PR.152~ED.346~HT.336~GR.124~

Biden's Big Challenge to Putin: White House Admits Allowing Ukraine Hitting Deep Inside Russia

The White House has officially confirmed a policy shift, allowing Ukraine to strike targets within Russia using U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS). National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that Ukraine now has the green light to deploy these weapons for immediate defensive needs, particularly in areas like Russia's Kursk region. This move follows heightened speculation over the past week, during which Kyiv reportedly used ATACMS in strikes on Russia’s Bryansk region. The U.S. and NATO allies have continuously supplied advanced weaponry to Ukraine since 2022 while asserting that this support does not make them direct participants in the conflict. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned of severe repercussions, including nuclear escalation, if NATO’s involvement crosses certain thresholds. In September, Putin emphasized that Kyiv's use of long-range weapons could alter the nature of the war, effectively drawing NATO into direct confrontation. #WhiteHouse #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraineWar #ATACMS #NATO #MilitaryAid #Geopolitics #Putin #KyivStrikes #USPolicy ~PR.362~HT.318~ED.101~GR.122~

TOS-1A and Aerial Bombs: Putin’s Game-Changing Thermobaric Arsenal Takes Down Ukrainian Defenses
