After US nod, Ukraine strikes Russia with long-range missiles

Ukraine fired six American-supplied longer-range missiles at Russia's Bryansk region, Moscow said on Tuesday, in what would be Kyiv's first use of the weapons inside Russia in 1,000 days of war.

A Telegram channel affiliated with the Ukrainian military posted a video, on Tuesday, that it says shows US-supplied ATACMs missiles being fired from an undisclosed location in Ukraine. The Associated Press could not independently verify the date and location the video was filmed.

The developments marked a worrying new escalation in the conflict that has repeatedly ratcheted up international tensions.

US officials recently expressed dismay at Russia's deployment of North Korean troops to help it fight Ukraine, while Moscow seethed when Washington eased restrictions on the ATACMs in recent days.

The 1,000-day mark has magnified scrutiny of how the war is unfolding and how it might end, amid signs that a turning point may be coming with US President-elect Donald Trump entering the White House in about two months' time.

Trump has pledged to swiftly end the war and has criticised the amount the US has spent on supporting Ukraine.

Neither Russia nor Ukraine can sustain the war for a long time, analysts say, though Russia is able to keep going for longer due to its vaster resources.
