NATO and Ukraine to hold emergency talks after Russia's attack with new hypersonic missile

We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against the military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities,

the Russian president said on Friday

These weapons are used to destroy people, not to destroy objects,

said Artiukh, according to Suspilne

These are rockets that are fired and then guided to a target via an electronic system, which requires the world’s most advanced technology and satellite communications capability,

Orbán said on state radio

It’s not a trick… there will be consequences,

he said

There are signals of an increased risk of attacks on the government district in the coming days. Also in Kyiv and Ukraine in general,

MP Yevgenia Kravchuk told AFP

We have, in fact, derailed the entire 2025 campaign,

Defence Minister Andrei Belousov said of the Ukrainian army in a video published by the Russian defence ministry

The main message is that the reckless decisions and actions of Western countries, which produce missiles, supply them to Ukraine and subsequently take part in carrying out strikes on Russian territory, cannot remain without a reaction from the Russian side,

Peskov said

We are in no doubt that the current administration in Washington has had the chance to familiarise itself with this announcement and understand it,

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters

I am interested in how the Ukrainians are coping with the bombings, how Czech projects are working on the ground and how to better target international aid in the coming months. I will discuss all of this here,

Lipavský wrote

That said, Putin’s decision to inform Washington in advance of the test was clearly intended to avoid the it misinterpreting the launch and to mitigate the risks of immediate nuclear escalation,

said Acton

I take the launch as a ‘reminder’ to the United States that the risks of nuclear escalation remain present,

said James Acton, the co-director of the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

Putin’s a bully. He’s going to continue to sabre-rattle from time to time,

Burns said

The Russian side has clearly demonstrated its capabilities,

Dmitri S. Peskov, the Kremlin’s spokesman, said on Friday

That is to say, we are defending the Ukrainians against this. It didn't work. So, the biggest danger not right now is not Putin. But I know I'm going to get pushback on that. It's not Putin, it's Joe Biden. Right now, we have a president inbound, President Trump, who will engage and try to ratchet down the drama. That's not so with Joe Biden. As a matter of fact, I don't even know if Joe Biden is the guy in charge,

he added
