Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reacted to the Russian strike on Dnipro, calling Russian President Vladimir Putin Ukraine's "crazy neighbor." "Today, our crazy neighbor has once again shown who he really is and how he despises dignity, freedom, and human life in general," Zelensky said in a video posted to Telegram. He also added that Putin is "so afraid, he is already using new missiles." Ukraine claims that Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) targeting the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday. These, however, have been disputed, according to reports. Television network Sky has reported that a Western official has denied Russia launched an ICBM against Ukraine. However, if the claims made by the Ukrainian Air Force of the ICBM launch by Russia are proven to be true, this development would mark a significant escalation in the conflict. Dnipro is a key city in central Ukraine, which would have been subjected to the use of long-range weaponry typically associated with strategic military objectives.

Ukrainians lose hope in NATO
Ukrainians have grown more skeptical of the West and are losing hope of joining NATO, according to a poll.
The poll, which is part of a series of surveys conducted by Gallup, found that respondents' faith in joining the alliance had fallen, along with Ukrainians' confidence in U.S. leadership as an ally and military backer and their likelihood of joining the European Union any time soon.
The findings come more than 1,000 days into the Russia-Ukraine war and amid increasing casualties. A U.S. official told The New York Times they estimated 57,500 people have been killed and 250,000 wounded in Ukraine.

Donald Trump cabinet resembling Russia’s ‘oligarchy:’ Garry Kasparov
President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet resembles a Russian "oligarchy," according to the chairman of the Renew Democracy Initiative, Garry Kasparov.
Trump is "aiming for privatization of power," Russian former World Chess Champion Kasparov said on an episode of the Stay Tuned with Preet podcast on Thursday.
"They send a very clear signal that Trump is aiming for privatization of power, because he brings his loyalists, and when you look at key positions like Pentagon, DOD, DOJ, Justice and intelligence...there is cronies, its very clear that Trump has a plan," the political activist added.
"It's not just one person on top, it's not just Matt Gaetz as head of the department, when you look at numbers two and three, Trump is planning to bring his personal lawyers. I think overall we could see that Trump concentrate so much power in his hands that I'm not sure that democratic institutions could resist the pressure from him when he starts dismantling the system of checks and balances."

Ukrainians call for THAAD air defenses amid reported Russian ICBM strike
...
A Russian attack on a city that Ukraine said included the use of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) has reinforced calls for the U.S. to supply Kyiv with the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system.
The Ukrainian Air Force's statement that among the nine missiles launched Thursday at the city of Dnipro was a conventional ICBM has not been independently confirmed, but the prospect of Moscow using a nuclear-capable weapon has raised alarm.
After yet another Russian barrage on a Ukrainian city, Kira Rudik, leader of the country's Holos party, told Newsweek that "our air defense is a matter of life or death for us."
"Every additional layer of air defense and air defense ammunitions are giving our fighters a chance to take down those missiles and our people a chance to survive for another day," she said.

White House shares statement from Jake Sullivan regarding sanctioning Russia’s use of International Financial System
The White House has shared a statement on behalf of National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan about sanctioning Russia's use of the International Financial System.
The statement reads:
In September, President Biden announced a surge in security assistance and additional actions to help Ukraine as it continues to resist Russia's aggression. And today, the United States is imposing significant new sanctions on over 50 financial institutions to further degrade Russia's ability to use the international financial system to fund and prosecute its brutal war against the people of Ukraine. These targets include Gazprombank, Russia's largest remaining bank not sanctioned by the United States, as well as 50 other persons and entities operating in the Russian financial sector.
In response to Russian aggression, President Biden has led international efforts alongside the G7 and many of our allies and partners to hold Russia accountable for its aggression. Today's sanctions will further curtail Russia's abuse of the international financial system to help finance its war against Ukraine.
The United States remains committed to putting Ukraine in the strongest possible position, and we will continue to take all available steps to do so from surging security assistance to imposing and fully enforcing sanctions and other restrictions on Russia's war machine.

Joe Biden Trying to Sink Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan, Steve Bannon Suggests
...
Political strategist Steve Bannon has suggested that President Joe Biden's decision to permit Ukraine to use American-made missiles for strikes inside Russia was made to prevent President-elect Donald Trump from pursuing a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
On Sunday, the administration overturned prior constraints on Kyiv's use of Western weaponry, allowing Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, for long-range strikes on Russian territory, several news outlets reported. The United Kingdom has apparently followed suit, with Russia's Defense Ministry reporting that Ukraine used British-made Storm Shadow missiles on military targets inside Russia.
Bannon, who played a key role in Trump's 2016 campaign and is often recognized as a driving force behind his political ascendancy, has questioned whether the move by Biden and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer was designed to escalate the conflict ahead of Trump's return to the White House.
In an episode of his War Room podcast released on Wednesday, Bannon asked U.K. politician Nigel Farage, "Do you believe Biden and even the Labor government in the United Kingdom and the rest of NATO are trying to escalate this so that President Trump—the ability for him to step in and negotiate a peace deal, it's overcome by current events on the battlefield?"

Chinese banks began blocking payments to Russian enterprises
Banks in China are strengthening restrictions on transfers from India, the UAE, and Hong Kong to Russian enterprises in an effort to avoid secondary penalties. Enhanced inspections are being conducted on shipping papers to identify any "Russian trace," according to the Moscow Times.
Ilona Gorsheneva-Dolunts, Opora Russia's representative in China, verified this. Banks require that the products be sent to the nation from whence the funds originated, she says. Organizations are attempting to avoid secondary sanctions by tightening controls, according to Ekaterina Kizevich, CEO of Atvira, a specialist in international economic activities.
Alexei Poroshin, CEO of JSC First Group, has warned that Chinese banks are "tightening the screws" before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes office and that the situation would not improve by 2025. He remembered that Trump has long proclaimed a trade war with the PRC, and local banks will not take risks to avoid giving the incoming American administration a cause to impose penalties.

Retired US general in Kyiv: “Tremendous” fear at ICBM reports
...
A retired U.S. general in Kyiv, Ukraine, said there is "tremendous" fear in the city of Russia's retaliation after it fired what Ukraine has said is an intercontinental ballistic missile at Dnipro, according to CNN.
Retired U.S. Major General Mark MacCarley spoke to the news outlet in a video interview. He described the atmosphere in the Ukrainian capital and the population's fears of attacks on Kyiv following Russia's strike today.
MacCarley said: "The sirens ultimately ended, but there was still a rush to the basements and to the concrete parking lots because it just creates a tremendous amount of fear. And that's what the Russians wanted, fear among those who are living and surviving."
The retired U.S. general added: "You could say that Russia shot first at Dnipro as a statement suggesting that if Ukraine does not back away from the use of, let's say, the newly provided ATACMS [longer-range American missiles] from the U.S. and the Storm Shadows from Britain, that Russia will use the same longer-range intercontinental ballistic missile and hit Kyiv."

Ukraine’s front lines are not as stable as they once were
U.K.'s Defense Intelligence has cautioned that Ukraine's front lines are "less stable" than they have been since the early stages of Russia's full-scale invasion more than 1,000 days ago.
In an intelligence assessment Thursday, the CIA stated that "Russian territorial advances in Ukraine have accelerated through 2024," aided by "the Russian leadership's tolerance for casualties" and having more troops than Ukraine's military, CNN reports.
"The frontline is now less stable than at any point since the opening stages of the conflict," the agency said.

North Korean commanders may have been inside Putin’s compound hit by Kyiv
...
A Ukrainian missile strike is thought to have targeted an underground command post in a presidential compound, possibly occupied by high-ranking North Korean military personnel, according to reports.
The strike in Russia's Kursk region was conducted with Anglo-French Storm Shadow missiles, precision-guided weapons designed for use against hardened targets.
The strike is thought to have targeted a command center for the Russian armed forces located within a presidential compound at the Maryino Estate, according to The Moscow Times.
Newsweek is unable to confirm if North Korean personnel were in the compound and has reached out to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for comment via email.

The 1600 Newsletter: Will Trump freeze Ukraine battle lines?
Author of The 1600 newsletter Carlo Versano writes this morning about the Russia-Ukraine conflict:
The Ukrainians are saying this morning that Russia fired an intercontinental ballistic missile during an attack which, if confirmed, would be the first use of an ICBM in the history of war.
There's no reason to think the missile was carrying a nuclear warhead (we'd know that by now), but even so the launch represents another big escalation in that miserable war that just crossed its 1,000-day mark.
It comes after President Biden gave the go-ahead for Ukraine to use American missiles to strike deep into Russian territory–a move that Putin has repeatedly said amounts to its own severe escalation.
What's happening here is both sides are jockeying for position ahead of Trump's return to power. The prez-elect has said he will end the war on his first day in office, though he hasn't given any specifics about what such a peace plan would look like.
So before then, both Kyiv and Moscow are trying to gain the upper hand under the assumption that the battle lines will freeze at some point early next year under pressure from the U.S. Whatever those territorial lines are, I would bet that is what Trump allows Putin to keep.
All that is to say: buckle up for these next two months. This is becoming a very precarious moment that could go sideways quickly.
Hopefully whoever is in charge at the White House knows what they're doing.

What are Russia’s RS-26 missiles? Ukraine says first ICBM used in strike
Russia used a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) against Ukraine for the first time, Kyiv's air force said on Thursday, in a move likely intended to send a message from the Kremlin at a crucial point in the nearly three years of war.
The ICBM was launched at the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro from Russia's southwestern Astrakhan region, Ukraine's air force said, adding Moscow separately fired a Kinzhal hypersonic missile and seven Kh-101 cruise missiles.
At the time of writing, Russia's Defense Ministry had not acknowledged the reports, while the Kremlin and the Russian Foreign Ministry swerved questions on the alleged ICBM use in a Thursday briefing.
The strike comes shortly after the U.S. closed its embassy in the capital, saying it had "received specific information of a potential significant air attack" on Wednesday.
U.S. officials said earlier this week that Washington had approved Ukraine's use of American-made Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, against Russian territory in a reversal of a long-held White House policy. Russia said Ukraine had used six ATACMS on Russia's border Bryansk region in an "escalation" of the conflict.

U.S. will give Ukraine at least $275 million in additional weaponry in an effort to support Kyiv before Trump
The Pentagon will send Ukraine at least $275 million in additional armaments, including an unspecified quantity of antipersonnel land mines, as the Biden administration tries to help Kyiv fight back against Russia before President-elect Donald Trump becomes president in January.
The current shipment of weaponry comes as concerns rise about an escalation in the fight, with both sides vying for every edge they can obtain if Trump wants a rapid conclusion to the war – as he has promised.
"We will continue to provide Ukraine the support it needs to succeed on the battlefield and prevail in its defense against Russia's aggression," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.

Russia responds as North Korean troops accused of sexual assault in Kursk
A Russian government ministry and a public university said separately this week that online reports alleging sexual assault by North Korean soldiers near the front lines of the Ukraine war were unfounded.
The Kursk regional office of Russia's Internal Affairs Ministry denied that a teacher from Moscow had recently been the victim of a "crime" in the western region, where Western intelligence assessments said North Korean troops were helping the Russian army fight off a monthslong cross-border raid by Ukraine's armed forces.
The ministry's statement on Tuesday described the rumors as "false information," and was followed the next day by a response from the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. In a post on VKontakte, one of the country's largest social media platforms, the university in Moscow said the widespread reports on Telegram were "fake."
Reports by multiple Russian-language news sites this week carried a screenshot resembling an official statement on the university's website, which purportedly accused a group of intoxicated North Korean soldiers in Kursk of sexually assaulting a faculty member who had been dispatched to provide interpretive services.

Five current and former Russian officials have written that Putin may agree to stop his invasion, halting the battle along the present front lines and negotiating the division of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson.
"Putin has already said that freezing the conflict will not work in any way," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Reuters. "And the missile authorization is a very dangerous escalation on the part of the United States."

Half of Russia’s Airbus fleet now obsolete due to sanctions: Russian media
...
Western sanctions have dried up the supply of spare parts for Russian airlines and grounded around half of the country's Airbus fleet.
Civil aviation in Russia has been hit hard by the Western sanctions that followed Russian President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The U.S., the EU, and other countries have banned technology exports for Russia's aviation sector, while Boeing and Airbus have suspended maintenance and spare parts for the country's airlines.
The head of Russia's federal air transport agency, Rosaviatsia, Dmitry Yadrov, warned in June that passenger numbers in the country would slump because sanctions have made aircraft maintenance almost impossible.

Why ICBM Launch By Russia May Be ‘Unlikely’
Pavel Podvig, a research fellow at the Center for Arms Control Studies at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology has shared a post from his X account outlining why he thinks it is unlikely Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) against Dnipro On Thursday.
He said the use of an ICBM at a target so close "does not make a lot of sense."
"The distance from Kapustin Yar to Dnipro is about 800km. It's not an intercontinental range," he said.
ICBMs are defined as ballistic missiles with ranges exceeding 3,400 miles. Early Ukrainian reports suggested that the missile used in the recent attack on Dnipro was an RS-26. However, Podvig, points out that the RS-26 program was mothballed in 2018.
"One cannot rule out that RS-26 was taken out of its 'retirement' for a strike this implies that Russia had a number of these missiles in storage for almost ten years," he said.
"Not impossible, but rather unlikely."
This raises questions about the specific type of missile employed in the attack, given the reported suspension of the RS-26 program.
He said that many ICBMs have a minimum range they must travel.
