Ukraine hit a Russian weapons arsenal with US-made ATACMS missiles that it fired across the border for the first time, according to two US officials, in a major escalation on the 1,000th day of war.

Summary

Ukraine fired US-made ATACMS missiles into Russia’s Bryansk region, marking the first time Ukraine has used these longer-range weapons to strike targets deep inside Russia.

The attack comes after the Biden administration authorized Ukraine to use these weapons against targets inside Russia.

In response, President Putin updated Russia’s nuclear doctrine, labeling aggression from non-nuclear states supported by nuclear powers as a joint attack on Russia.

    Russia says there’s going to be no peace talks without recognizing the new boundaries so, might as well carve out a big part of Russia for the Ukraine

      Ukraine*. “the Ukraine” is an outdated term coined by people who never recognized Ukraine’s cultural sovereignty

        “The Ukraine” and “Kiev” were two outdated 80s terms I had to update in my head when the war started.

          one of my best friends told me in 2020 it hurt her feelings a little when people used the term. not because they hurt her feelings, but because it meant societally, our understanding of her and her family’s struggles came predominantly from people who hated them. it’s worth relearning for the people it effects.

        Give up a chunk of your own country to “apease” putin then. What do you think about that? Maybe Alaska if you’re American?

        It’s Russia the agressor, not Ukraine.

          Look its geopolitics/ real politics whatever u want to call it.
          I hope u not gonna deny that US funded that overthrow in Ukraine and otherwise meddled there for decades?
          Ukraine borders Russia so I can understand they don’t want hostile state right there, especially with nuclear ambitions. So what followed is just what followed.

          Imo deal was pretty fair for them in the beginning, but as zelensky refused to settle - well body costs got higher so now it’s going to have to be territorial losses and they going to get higher with time.

          Imo Ukraine can’t win this and Trump agrees,so might as well settle it. Imo conditions for Ukrainians are more than fair - Russia gives them citizenship, all the native rights, it’s very different from how Israeli treat Palestinians for example - pure genicide
