Moscow says the weapon can evade missile defence systems and could be used against Ukraine's allies if they strike deep into Russia.

Observers say the missile strike, which hit western Ukraine, was meant as a clear warning to Kyiv's allies in the NATO military alliance.

The launch of the nuclear-capable missile came days after Ukraine and its allies agreed on security guarantees to defend the country from further Russian aggression if a U.S.-led peace process leads to a deal.

Ukraine is seeking international meetings to discuss the use of the missile for the first time since November 2024.

On Monday, Russia sanctioned 28 ºÃÉ«tvs of Ukrainian origin in retaliation for ºÃÉ«tv sanctions related to Russia's invasion.
