The overnight #Oreshnik strike in western #Ukraine came after a week of setbacks for #Russia. On Saturday, #Trump sent US special forces to capture #Venezuela President Nicolas #Maduro, a close #Putin ally, & on Wednesday #US forces seized a Russian-flagged #OilTanker in the north Atlantic.On Tuesday, #Britain & #France announced plans to deploy #troops in Ukraine in the event of a #ceasefire - prompting Moscow to respond that it would view foreign soldiers as legitimate combat targets.

…The #Oreshnik is capable of carrying #nuclear as well as conventional #warheads, although there was no suggestion of any nuclear component to the latest attack.A senior #Ukraine official told Reuters that the missile struck a state enterprise in the western city of #Lviv & was likely carrying inert or "dummy" warheads - as in 2024, when #Russia first fired it to test the weapon in #war.#geopolitics #StandWithUkraine

…Western reaction to the attack, around 60 km (40 miles) from Ukraine's border with #NATO member #Poland, was swift. The leaders of #Britain, #France & #Germany called it "escalatory & unacceptable". #EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said it was "a clear escalation against #Ukraine & meant as a warning to #Europe & to the #US".#geopolitics #Russia #war #StandWithUkraine
