Early yesterday morning, Ukraine's military launched a volley of American-made ballistic missiles into Russia for the first time, marking a significant escalation in the conflict.
The use of long-range American weapons was a show of force that demonstrated how continued Western support could help Ukraine more easily degrade Russian forces.
Putin declared that Russia could use nuclear weapons if its sovereignty is threatened, indicating a shift in Russia's nuclear stance and signaling to the West.
The White House said it had observed no changes to Russia's nuclear posture, suggesting a calm in U.S. reactions despite Putin's provocative statement.
