Ukraine: Threat of global conflict is serious and real- Polish PM

Russia’s new missile that moves at hypersonic speed Rarely has the use of a generated such widespread anxiety and debate.

The deafening explosions that shook Dnipro in the early hours of yesterday morning continue to reverberate.

With Moscow still threatening further responses to what it calls the reckless decision of Britain and America to let Ukraine fire their missiles into Russia, the Polish Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, says the war is entering a decisive phase. The threat of a global conflict, he said this morning, is serious and real.

Meeting his Ukrainian counterpart in Stockholm, Sweden’s Defence Minister, Pål Jonson, said efforts to discourage the West from supporting Ukraine would not work.

While in China, which supports Russia’s war effort, a foreign ministry spokesman called on all parties to stay calm and exercise restraint.

Fearing further, similar attacks, Ukraine is on edge. A session of parliament in Kyiv was cancelled today, amid fears of an attack on the city’s government district.
