In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, thus declaring a new war between both nations. Since then The consequences for the Ukrainian country have been devastatingleaving a mark on its inhabitants that is now indelible, especially because of the lives lost.
In the last hours The conflict has taken a path that seems to be more worrying even if possible, especially after the Russia’s response after Ukrainian attacks with long-range ATACMS missiles. These missiles have a high-precision surface attack system manufactured by Lockheed Martin and are a key tool in the US military arsenal.
Attacks by Ukraine were confirmed by the Russian Ministry of Defense earlier this week, to whom Vladimir Putin, president of Russia, has responded with two actions. The first: allow responses with nuclear weapons in conventional attacks. The second: the launch of a new non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile of the RS-26 Rubezh type over the Ukrainian region of Dnipro.
Faced with new events The fear of a new escalation is more than palpablewhich has led Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to request a “strong reaction with the world”as reported in a statement through the social network X.
Increases the feeling of danger
Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belusov has confirmed that following the latest attacks Russian troops have “altered the entire campaign” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces looking ahead to next year.
Belusov has insisted on “the combat work carried out” and has indicated that Russia “has pulverized the best” Ukrainian units on the ground. “Progress has accelerated, we have altered its entire campaign for 2025,” according to the Interfax news agency.
Leaving aside whether these data offered by the minister are as real as he claims, In recent hours, fatalities due to Russian attacks have increased. This time after the offensive in the city of Sumi in northeastern Ukraine, where during this morning there were two dead and a dozen injured.
The attack, as reported by the Military Administration of the region, was carried out using Shahed drones, which are especially difficult to intercept in border regions due to the greater proximity to the launch point.
Possible Russian attack
As reported by the Russian newspaper ‘Ukrainska Pravda’, Ukraine has canceled a parliamentary session due to the risk of a possible Russian attack which was scheduled for this Friday.
Given this situation, legislators have been asked to stay away from the area that includes Parliament, the presidency and also several headquarters of the Ukrainian Government.
Russia-North Korea relationship
At the same time Hypotheses regarding a Third World War increasethe latest information indicates that Moscow transferred anti-aircraft missiles to Pyongyang in exchange for sending troops to fight on the Ukrainian front. This has been confirmed by South Korean National Security Advisor Shin Won-sik. “We believe that Russia has provided equipment and anti-aircraft missiles to strengthen Pyongyang’s vulnerable air defenses,” he explained in a radio interview with the South Korean network SBS.
Let us remember that North Korea and Russia signed a kind of strategic alliance through which they offer mutual support in the event of an attack, which allows the sending of some 10,000 soldiers to support the Russian army that would already be fighting on the front.
NATO speaks
The NATO has recently stated that the launch of Russia’s first experimental intermediate-range ballistic missile over the Dnipro region will not deter allies from continuing to provide support to kyiv.
“The deployment of this capability will not change the course of the conflict or deter NATO allies from supporting Ukraine“said the organization’s spokesperson, Farah Dakhlallah, in statements to the ‘EFE’ agency. “Russia intends to terrorize the civilian population of Ukraine and intimidate those who support it in its defense against Russia’s illegal aggression.”
