Russia reportedly launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at Ukraine for the first time, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned the attack, accusing President Putin of using Ukraine as a “training ground” for new weapons. The missile, likely an RS-26 Rubezh, reportedly did not carry a nuclear warhead. In response, Russia revised its nuclear doctrine and threatened to use new weapons if Ukraine continues to target Russian territory with Western missiles. The EU called it a “nuclear gamble.”
