Russia Uses Controversial 9M729 Missile in Ukraine, Triggering Concerns Over International Treaties
Kyiv has reported that Russia is employing the 9M729 missile, a weapon system that played a pivotal role in prompting former President Trump to withdraw from a significant nuclear arms treaty with the United States. The missile, banned under the INF Treaty, has been utilized in multiple strikes against Ukrainian targets, raising alarms about its implications for global security and diplomatic relations. With Ukraine confirming at least 23 attacks involving this missile, officials are increasingly concerned about the return of such treaty-violating weaponry in the ongoing conflict, a move that could escalate tensions further on the international stage.
