The crisis between Russia and Ukraine has shown no sign of abating as tension continues to brew.

This is as the Russian Ministry of Defence on Tuesday revealed that Ukraine allegedly fired long-range missiles into Russia.

The military said the long-range missiles allegedly fired by Ukraine were purportedly supplied by the United States.

The allegations come days after US President Joe Biden was alleged to have permitted Ukraine to attack Russia.

According to a statement released by the Ministry of Defence in Moscow, Ukraine allegedly used the Army Tactical Missile System (Atacms) in a strike on Russia’s Bryansk region in the early hours of Tuesday.

The Ministry said five missiles were purportedly shot down and one damaged, with its fragments causing a fire at a military facility in the region.

The New Diplomat reports that the purported strike represents the first time long-range missiles have been used on Russia’s internationally recognised territory, a situation that could cause escalated tension between Russia and Ukraine.

  • This situation marks a significant escalation in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. The alleged use of long-range ATACMS missiles, reportedly supplied by the U.S., on Russia's internationally recognized territory could have far-reaching consequences. It not only highlights the intensifying nature of the conflict but also raises questions about how such developments might affect international involvement and diplomatic efforts. The potential for increased tension and retaliation seems more imminent than ever.
