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 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.
