Ukraine has escalated its missile strikes using US-supplied ATACMS against Russia’s Kursk Region, targeting military facilities over the past few days.
In retaliation, Russia is preparing a counter-response, with President Putin testing a new hypersonic missile.
The strikes have intensified tensions as both sides brace for further conflict.
The US authorization for Ukraine to use long-range missiles deep inside Russia’s borders marks a significant shift in the ongoing war dynamics.
In his New Year's address, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a bold challenge to Ukraine and the West, declaring that Russia will not halt its military actions. He praised the Russian soldiers fighting on the frontlines, calling their efforts a "noble mission" to protect the country’s peace and security. Highlighting the nation’s resilience, Putin emphasized that Russia has faced many challenges and, over the past 24 years, has grown stronger. He further expressed pride in the country's achievements and solidarity, while stressing that 2025 will be dedicated to honoring the defenders of the fatherland.

In a bold statement at the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized that Russia’s missile systems are far more advanced than those supplied to Ukraine by the West. He asserted that the Iskander short-range ballistic missiles and other Russian systems, including the hypersonic Kinzhal and Zircon missiles, far surpass Western weapons like the ATACMS, Storm Shadow, and SCALP missiles. Despite Western arms deliveries to Ukraine, Putin stressed that no amount of foreign aid will alter the situation on the front lines, as Russia continues to outpace NATO in missile production. Watch the full details of this statement and the implications for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

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

The United Kingdom has issued a strong warning, declaring its military is prepared to join the fight against Russia “tonight” if Moscow escalates aggression in Eastern Europe. Lieutenant General Sir Rob Magowan assured the Commons Defence Committee of the British Army's readiness, stating that any Russian invasion would be met with immediate resistance. Amid growing tensions over Ukraine, where Kyiv has launched strikes using US-supplied Atacms missiles, and concerns about NATO's eastern flank, the UK has bolstered its presence in Estonia and remains committed to defending Europe. As fears of a broader conflict loom, the possibility of World War III grows ever more tangible.

The Ukrainian military has uncovered a secret plan involving North Korean soldiers fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. According to reports, thousands of North Koreans were deployed to Russia and given fake military identification documents, including Russian-style names and birthplaces, in an effort to conceal their presence. Despite the false details, the documents still revealed their true origin through Korean signatures. Ukrainian forces have killed several North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region, and estimates suggest that between 11,000 and 12,000 North Korean troops are currently stationed in Russia. Both Russia and North Korea have refused to publicly acknowledge the presence of North Korean soldiers, while Ukrainian officials claim Russia is trying to cover up their heavy losses. Reports also suggest that Russia has been using extreme measures to conceal the deaths of these soldiers, including burning bodies and quickly removing them from the battlefield.
