Ukrainian forces fired six ATACMS missiles into the Bryansk region of Russia, marking the first use of U.S.-made long-range missiles in 1,000 days of conflict.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov indicated that if Ukraine received U.S. approval for long-range strikes, it represents a 'new spiral of tensions' with the West.
President Vladimir Putin previously insisted that Ukraine could not effectively use advanced weapons without NATO support, suggesting a direct confrontation with NATO nations.
On the same day of the missile strikes, Putin updated Russia's nuclear doctrine, which expands options for using nuclear weapons in response to conventional attacks.
