(ReclaimingAmerica.net) – In a distressing new episode of Russia’s war against Ukraine, Moscow has promised retaliation against Ukraine after a daring attack on a Russian chemical and ammunition factory using Western missiles.

This event marks an alarming escalation in the conflict, pushing the boundaries of international tension.
The conflict has now taken a dire turn with Russia claiming its right to respond.
Accusations are flying as Russia blames Ukraine for firing Western-supplied missiles at a military airfield in the Rostov region.
The weapons in question include the US ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles.
Moscow has categorized this as a dangerous escalation, inarguably crossing new thresholds of conflict.
President Putin did not mince words in his response, promising the use of hypersonic missiles against Kyiv if attacks on Russian territory persist.
This strong statement highlights Russia’s frustration with Western involvement in the Ukrainian offense.
The conflict continues to simmer as Ukraine claimed to have targeted Russian military and energy facilities, including an oil depot in Bryansk.
Meanwhile, Russia stated it had recaptured territory in the Kursk region from Ukrainian forces.
The exchanges between the two sides only ramp up the destructive conflict.
“This attack by Western long-range weapons will not go unanswered and appropriate measures will be taken,” Russia’s defense ministry threatened, cited by Le Monde.
Adding to the tension, the US has allowed Ukraine access to longer-range missiles while pooling over a billion dollars in ongoing military support.
This commitment strains international relations further but underscores the US’s dedication to assisting Ukraine’s defensive efforts.
There’s growing skepticism about more Western involvement leading to resolution versus further escalation.
Recent exchanges have seen Russia threaten to employ its hypersonic missile capabilities, showcased in a recent large-scale aerial assault on Ukraine.
This massive attack severely damaged Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, leading to significant blackouts.
Analysts believe that Russia aims to cripple Ukraine’s electricity to erode civilian morale.
In another diplomatic twist, Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with Putin, a move that irked the Ukrainian government.
President Zelensky criticized Orban, emphasizing the need for European unity against Russian aggression.
President Zelenskyy responds to Vladimir Putin saying he wants to "strike somewhere in Kyiv" using a "new missile".
