The war between Russia and Ukraine continues to draw in international attention and involvement. Recent events have further escalated tensions, with Russia accusing the United Kingdom of direct participation in the conflict.

Ukraine said Russia launched a “new” kind of ballistic missile at the city of Dnipro, in the latest escalation of hostilities and an alarming signal to Kyiv’s Western backers.

Ukraine has fired UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles at targets inside Russia for the first time, the BBC understands. The war-torn country was previously restricted to using the long-range missiles within its own borders.
