Russia Fires First ICBM At Ukraine After 'New Weapon' Threat, Zelensky Slams 'Crazy Putin'

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. Moscow had warned the West of a response after Ukraine fired the first ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles at Russian territory following nods from the US and Britain. Russia also updated its nuclear doctrine and threatened to use new weapons if Ukraine continues to target Russian territory with Western missiles. The EU called Russia's ICBM strike on Ukraine "nuclear gamble", while President Zelensky slammed Putin as being "crazy".
