UKRAINE fired six Americansupplied longer-range missiles at Russia's Bryansk region, Moscow said Tuesday, in what would be Kyiv's first use of the weapons inside Russia in 1,000 days of war.
A Telegram channel affiliated with the Ukrainian military posted a video on Tuesday that it said shows US-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) being fired from an undisclosed location in Ukraine.
The developments marked a worrying new escalation in the conflict that has repeatedly ratcheted up international tensions. US officials recently expressed dismay at Russia's deployment of North Korean troops to help it fight Ukraine, while Moscow seethed when Washington eased restrictions on the ATACMS.
The 1,000-day mark has magnified scrutiny of how the war is unfolding and how it might end, amid signs that a turning point may be coming with US President-elect Donald Trump entering the White House in about two months' time. Trump has pledged to swiftly end the war and has criticised the amount the US has spent on supporting Ukraine.
