Ukraine says Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, one carrying a conventional warhead, toward it. ICBMs can also be used to launch nuclear weapons, and Russian President Vladimir Putin recently lowered the bar for using nuclear weapons in what appeared to be a threat to the U.S. and its NATO allies.

President Biden will allow Ukraine to carry out long-range strikes on Russian targets, according to reports. How could it impact the war?

The war between Russia and Ukraine is intensifying with new attacks and new concerns over the weapons being used by both sides. Vladimir Putin says Russia’s use of a nuclear-capable weapon is a response to Ukraine firing American weapons deeper into Russia for the first time.
