Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened Ukraine with potential hypersonic missile strikes on Kyiv, citing Ukraine’s use of Western missiles on Russian territory. He claimed the U.S. and European allies are directly involved in the conflict. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemned Putin’s escalation, accusing him of pressuring the U.S. to accept Russian terms. Despite nearly three years of conflict, Russia has not targeted Kyiv’s government buildings. Putin’s threats follow the U.S. and U.K.’s decision to allow their weapons to be used inside Russia, prompting a severe response.
