Ukraine fired U.S.-made missiles into Russia for first time, officials say

    1. While the whole world is waiting for a miracle from Trump, you and I have to plow away.
    2. In the decisive moments - and they will come next year - we should not allow anyone in the world to doubt Ukraine's resilience.
    3. Each new attack by Russia only confirms Putin's true intentions. He wants the war to continue. Talks about peace are not interesting to him. We must force Russia to a just peace by force.
    4. While some European leaders think about some elections or something like this … Putin is focused on winning this war. He will not stop on his own. The more time he has, the worse the conditions become.
    5. Whether us over the enemy, or the enemy over us Ukrainians… and Europeans. And everyone in the world who wants to live freely and not be subject to a dictator.
    1. Western approval for these strikes would mean direct NATO involvement because their infrastructure and personnel would be essential for targeting.
    1. NATO countries — the United States and European countries — are at war with Russia.
    2. Russia has always viewed nuclear weapons as a deterrent, the use of which is an extreme, forced measure.
    3. The use of western non-nuclear missiles by Kyiv against Russia, under the new doctrine, could provoke a nuclear response.
    4. I have no doubt that our army has the situation under control.
    1. Here at the G20 and for many, many weeks, I've been making the case that Ukraine must have what it needs for as long as it needs, that we must put Ukraine in the strongest possible position to win this war. It impacts Ukraine, but it impacts all of us, and Russia cannot be allowed to win this war.
    2. But look, forgive me, I'm not going to go into operational matters, because there's only one winner if I do that, and that is Putin and it would undermine Ukrainian efforts.
    1. Successive US governments – long before Donald Trump – has been raising that as an issue. And, of course, it is our intention to get back to 2.5% of GDP. That is what it was when we left office and we want to get back there.
    1. Ukraine's armed forces last night struck a facility in the Bryansk region with six U.S.-made ATACMS missiles, with five missiles shot down and one damaged.
    2. Its fragments fell on the technical territory of a military facility in the Bryansk region, causing a fire, which was promptly extinguished.
    1. The destruction of ammunition depots will continue for the army of the Russian occupiers in order to stop the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
    2. The destruction of ammunition depots for the Russian occupying forces, aimed at ending Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, will continue.
    1. And without the Americans, use of these high-tech missiles, as Putin has said many times, is impossible.
    2. That Atacms was used repeatedly overnight against Bryansk Region is of course a signal that they [the US] want escalation.
    3. We will be taking this as a qualitatively new phase of the Western war against Russia. And we will react accordingly.
