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.

In a significant escalation of Russia's military operations in Ukraine, Russian forces have deployed thermobaric weapons, including the TOS-1A Solntsepyok and aerial thermobaric bombs, to target and obliterate Ukrainian defensive positions in the Donetsk region. The Russian Ministry of Defense released footage showcasing the devastating power of these weapons, which unleash massive explosions capable of destroying fortified structures.
The TOS-1A, a ground-based rocket system, was used to launch a series of strikes against Ukrainian defenses, causing widespread destruction. The upgraded version, the TOS-2 Tosochka, offers enhanced capabilities, including advanced rockets and mobility. Alongside these, Russia's use of thermobaric aerial bombs has proven equally destructive, further intensifying the pressure on Ukrainian forces.

Alec Baldwin had some strong opinions about American media during an appearance at the Turin Film Festival. Baldwin was present at the festival where he was the guest of honor as the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award. During the press conference Baldwin got a little critical about Americans and media at one point saying, "You know what's going on from the news, but information in America is driven by money. It's a business. That's why there's a void in information on the biggest issues in the world. Americans know little or nothing — on climate change, on Ukraine. That void is filled in part by the film industry, by documentaries and narrative films."
