The message from Russia seems clear: it views the West, Ukraine, and their allies as escalating the conflict, and it is prepared to respond in kind.

Zelensky has emphasized the importance of utilizing all available resources and has called on NATO allies for similar support. Meanwhile, Russia has issued a stark warning, describing this as a “qualitatively new phase” in the Western conflict against Russia.

Ukraine has raised concerns about embassies closing, noting that such actions typically follow credible intelligence signaling imminent threats. Observers believe this could indicate a significant escalation, particularly as the conflict approaches a critical phase, with about seven weeks left before a potential change in administration.

On the Russian side, the Kremlin appears to be fanning the flames of tension. President Vladimir Putin recently approved adjustments to Russia’s nuclear doctrine, effectively lowering the threshold for a nuclear strike. While some analysts believe these threats might be bluster, rumors have surfaced in Ukraine that Russia may test or even deploy experimental intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) into Ukrainian territory.

If such actions occur, they would mark a major escalation. As of last night, reports indicated a relatively stable situation, but by this morning, intelligence briefings revealed discussions about the potential deployment of the RS-26 ICBM. This missile, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, could be used even without one, as a symbolic show of force.

How Ukraine or the United States might react remains uncertain, but the use of an ICBM, even in a non-nuclear capacity, would undoubtedly provoke serious consequences.
