The stakes have never been higher in the Ukraine - Russia war.

Western powers substantially boosted Ukraine 's military arsenal - and the Kremlin made its loudest threats yet of a nuclear strike.

On Tuesday , the 1000th day of the war, Putin pushed through changes to Russia 's nuclear doctrine.

The Kremlin then deployed a new type of missile - " Oreshnik " - to strike Dnipro .

“As much as the fall of Afghanistan inflicted a severe wound on the foreign policy reputation of the Biden administration, if the scenario you mentioned is to be entertained by President Trump , Ukraine will become his Afghanistan , with equal consequences." “And I don’t think this is what he’s looking for.” This week 's developments may not be the start of the war escalating out of control - but the start of a tussle for the strongest negotiating position in potential future talks to end it..
