Ukraine has launched its first US-supplied long-range missiles at a target in Russia, following recent US approval for their use. This marks a significant escalation in the conflict.

Security expert Dmitry Gorenburg suggests that Russia is unlikely to respond aggressively. He believes Russia will adopt a wait-and-see approach, anticipating potential changes in US leadership.
