Tensions rise as Ukraine and Russia escalate military actions and nuclear threats

rte.ie — November 24, 2024, 10:01 AM UTC

This week, tensions escalated between Ukraine and Russia, marked by Russia's increased missile attacks and nuclear threats. Ukraine has begun using long-range US and UK missiles against Russian targets, prompting a strong response from Moscow, including the deployment of new hypersonic missiles. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to continue testing a new missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads. This missile can travel up to 5,500 kilometers, complicating Ukraine's defense efforts, as it lacks adequate systems to intercept such threats. NATO is taking Russia's nuclear rhetoric seriously, with discussions planned to address the situation. Analysts suggest that Russia's nuclear threats may be aimed at negotiating from a position of strength, while Ukraine prepares for potential further escalations in the conflict.
