NATO and Ukraine to discuss Russia's hypersonic missile use in emergency talks

NATO and Ukraine will hold emergency talks on Tuesday regarding Russia's recent use of a new hypersonic missile. This missile was fired at a Ukrainian city in response to Ukraine's use of Western missiles. Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed the missile, which can travel at Mach 11, is capable of evading US air defense systems. He stated it could target any ally of Ukraine that supports attacks on Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the missile's use a serious escalation of the conflict. NATO officials and various European leaders expressed concerns about the implications of this development for regional security.
