Russia has escalated its military campaign by launching the new "Oreshnik" ballistic missile with a hypersonic warhead against Ukraine's Dnipro city. President Putin announced this as direct retaliation for Ukraine's use of Western-provided long-range weapons. The deployment of this reportedly "unstoppable" missile system marks a significant escalation in Russia's military capabilities and tactical approach to the conflict.

Russia has designated the newly opened US missile defense base in Poland's Redzikowo as a priority target for elimination. While NATO and Poland maintain the facility is purely defensive, part of the "Aegis Ashore" system, Moscow views it as a direct threat. The development adds to growing tensions, with Poland hosting over 10,000 US troops while supporting Ukraine against Russian invasion.

The Biden administration has announced plans to forgive $4.7 billion in loans provided to Ukraine as part of a broader aid package. This move, aimed at supporting Ukraine's financial stability amid the ongoing war with Russia, has sparked debate in the U.S. Congress.

The decision reflects the U.S.'s continued support for Ukraine's economic recovery and defense efforts.
