First vid ‘shows long-range ATACMS missiles fired by Ukraine into Russia’ as Kyiv braces for huge Putin revenge strike
For the first time, footage seems to show Ukraine firing a missile supplied by the US into Russia.
Days after Joe Biden approved the use of far-reaching ATACMS rockets, Kyiv blitzed a military base on Russian territory.
Vladimir Putin, incensed by the outgoing president’s decision, substantially lowered Moscow’s threshold for Russia to deploy nuclear weapons in response.
Recently, video has surfaced that seems to show Ukraine firing an ATACMS missile from an unidentified site.
The brief video, which was shared by a Ukrainian military-affiliated Telegram group, depicts a massive smoke plume following a blazing missile as it launches high into the sky.
On the 1,000th day of Vlad’s illegitimate war, Moscow was compelled to acknowledge yesterday that a missile supplied by the United States had struck a Bryasnk ammunition stockpile.

Russia’s defense ministry reluctantly acknowledged that pieces of one of the damaged missiles fell into the “technical territory” of the military installation and caused a fire.
Later, Kyiv confirmed on Telegram through official Andriy Kovalenko that the warehouse they hit was holding North Korean anti-aircraft missiles and ammo.
Moscow threatened to “react accordingly” if Russian territory was attacked with weaponry provided by the US.
As Ukraine prepares for a massive Russian retaliation attack, the US embassy in Kyiv has now closed.
A “potential significant air attack” has been the subject of “specific” intelligence, according to the US embassy.
It read: “Out of an abundance of caution, the embassy will be closed, and embassy employees are being instructed to shelter in place.”

Americans were advised to “be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced” in an uncommon warning from the embassy.
The embassy in the capital is still open, but the UK government is also keeping a “very close eye” on the security situation for British citizens in Kyiv.
Putin has stated time and time again that Moscow will use US-made weaponry deep inside Russia in retaliation for Ukraine’s strikes.
He claimed it would “mean that NATO countries are at war with Russia” in September.
Additionally, Vladimir signed a new doctrine to reduce the bar for launching a nuclear strike just days after the United States authorized Ukraine’s use of its far-reaching rockets.
However, according to sources today, Putin is prepared to speak with Donald Trump for a ceasefire agreement for Ukraine.
However, it is believed that Vlad has a long list of demands, one of which is that Kyiv drop its intention to join NATO.
How Ukraine could turn war around in WEEKS using US missiles
By foreign news reporter Sayan Bose
In February 2022, as part of the delusional tyrant’s desire to recreate the Soviet Union despite his obsessive fears over NATO, Putin’s armies attacked its neighbor.
Nearly three years later, Kyiv’s tired soldiers are engaged in death-defying combat on several fronts.
In the grueling struggle, they have suffered multiple reverses as Russia has gradually increased its control over Ukrainian territory.
However, according to one analyst, the US approval that now permits Ukraine to utilize long-range ATACMS missiles could be a game changer.
Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon told The Sun that if Ukraine had the steadfast backing of important Western allies, it could end the war in six weeks.
A “significant development” is Washington’s decision to permit Ukraine to employ ATACMS, according to the former British army official, and the possibility that Britain’s Storm Shadow missiles may be used in the war effort.
He clarified: “This is the 1,000th day of this fight, and Putin and his close associates have been threatening a nuclear strike if we increase it since day one, but it hasn’t happened.
“It should give our leaders more confidence because they now need to understand that Putin’s warnings are wholly unfounded.
“With the Russian boxer on the ropes, now is the time that we enable the Ukrainians to absolutely put in the killer punch and be in a really good position for the expected ceasefire.”
He went on to say: “This is a big step, as seen by the Russians’ strong vocal attacks against the use of NATO missiles.
“It could allow Ukraine to gain a good position in [the next] six weeks which will be important forZelenskyif Trump forces a ceasefire after getting back in office.”
Trump has pledged to put a stop to the conflict in Ukraine within 24 hours of entering office, and he will become president of the United States in January.
Putin is also amenable to talking about a peace agreement, according to insiders.
According to reports, bullish Vlad is already prescribing strict terms for any agreement mediated by Trump.
Five current and former Russian officials told Reuters that while the Kremlin may agree to halt fighting along frontlines, it will not cede any sizable territory.
Russia claims to have seized additional eastern land in recent days, and Vlad’s soldiers are still gaining momentum.
According to sources, the exact division of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson may be negotiable.
According to open-source data, approximately to 30% of the four eastern regions are still occupied by Ukrainian forces, despite Moscow’s assertion that they are all part of Russia.

The way the Kremlin is attempting to establish its parameters for negotiations is a clear indication that Russia’s goals are unaltered and still amount to complete Ukrainian surrender, according to analysts at the Institute for the Study of War.
“The Kremlin does not appear any more willing to make concessions to the incoming Trump administration than it was to the current administration.”
