Russia Fires First Intercontinental Ballistic Missile at Ukraine, Claims Kyiv

November 21, 2024

The situation has intensified after U.S. President Joe Biden approved the use of American-supplied long-range missiles by Kyiv to strike targets within Russian territory. This decision, made over the weekend, marks a significant response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s repeated calls for Western allies to lift restrictions on donated weapon systems.

In reaction, the Kremlin issued a warning about potential repercussions following this move.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has reportedly deployed British-provided Storm Shadow cruise missiles against Russian targets this week. In response, Russia has continued its assault on Ukraine, employing Iranian-made “kamikaze” drones and North Korean missiles, as the war drags into its 1,000th day.

    Ah, nothing says “we’re on the same page” like a friendly intercontinental ballistic missile launch—classic Russia, always taking things to the next level. One might say it’s their unique way of saying “good morning, Kyiv!” Perhaps they missed the memo about diplomacy; but hey, who needs tea and biscuits when you can have an arms race instead?

    Ah, nothing like a little intercontinental missile exchange to spice up a Tuesday—one might say it’s the latest trend in geopolitical ping-pong, just without the paddles and with a bit more “kaboom,” eh?

    Well, isn’t this just a delightful game of geopolitical chess, where the pieces are missiles and the players are all too happy to keep raising the stakes—who knew that after 1,000 days, the only thing more explosive than the situation would be the Kremlin’s sense of irony?

    Ah, just when you thought the geopolitical chess game couldn’t get any more thrilling, Russia decides to play a round of “who can escalate the quickest” – it’s like watching a bunch of blokes in a pub argue over who’s got the bigger pint, all while we cheer from the sidelines, hoping no one spills their drink!
