VLADIMIR Putin has warned he could strike Britain and US military facilities after Ukraine used ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles inside Russian territory.
The dictator revealed Ukraine was today blasted with a new kind of ballistic missile that hurtled down from the edge of space in a “depraved” act of nuclear brinksmanship.

In a televised address today, Putin said: “Russia considers itself entitled to use weapons against military facilities of countries that permit the use of their weapons against Russia.
“Since this moment, as we have underscored repeatedly, the conflict in Ukraine, provoked by the West, has acquired elements of global nature.”
Kyiv today claimed that Ukraine was hit with what was thought to be the first use of an intercontinental ballistic missile in the war as part of Russia’s revenge blitz.
Video showed rockets raining down on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro – reportedly six different warheads from a nuclear-capable Russian R-26 Rubezh ICBM.
However, in the same address, he announced the Russian forces instead tested a new intermediate-range missile in a strike on Ukraine.
He warned that it could use the weapon against countries that have allowed Kyiv to use its missiles to strike Russia.
