Ukraine fired U.S.-made missiles into Russia for first time, officials say

    1. The destruction of ammunition depots will continue for the army of the Russian occupiers in order to stop the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
    2. The destruction of ammunition depots for the Russian occupying forces, aimed at ending Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, will continue.
    1. It is not the first time that they threatened with nuclear escalation, which is completely irresponsible. Russia has subscribed to the principle that a nuclear war cannot be won, and so it must never be fought.
    1. Successive US governments – long before Donald Trump – has been raising that as an issue. And, of course, it is our intention to get back to 2.5% of GDP. That is what it was when we left office and we want to get back there.
    1. Here at the G20 and for many, many weeks, I've been making the case that Ukraine must have what it needs for as long as it needs, that we must put Ukraine in the strongest possible position to win this war. It impacts Ukraine, but it impacts all of us, and Russia cannot be allowed to win this war.
    2. But look, forgive me, I'm not going to go into operational matters, because there's only one winner if I do that, and that is Putin and it would undermine Ukrainian efforts.
    1. Ukraine's armed forces last night struck a facility in the Bryansk region with six U.S.-made ATACMS missiles, with five missiles shot down and one damaged.
    2. Its fragments fell on the technical territory of a military facility in the Bryansk region, causing a fire, which was promptly extinguished.
    1. Western approval for these strikes would mean direct NATO involvement because their infrastructure and personnel would be essential for targeting.
    1. NATO countries — the United States and European countries — are at war with Russia.
    2. Russia has always viewed nuclear weapons as a deterrent, the use of which is an extreme, forced measure.
    3. The use of western non-nuclear missiles by Kyiv against Russia, under the new doctrine, could provoke a nuclear response.
    4. I have no doubt that our army has the situation under control.
    1. And without the Americans, use of these high-tech missiles, as Putin has said many times, is impossible.
    2. That Atacms was used repeatedly overnight against Bryansk Region is of course a signal that they [the US] want escalation.
    3. We will be taking this as a qualitatively new phase of the Western war against Russia. And we will react accordingly.
