Thursday, May 21Thursday, May 21Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia will deploy the RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), known as "Satan II," by the end of 2026 after a successful test launch from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. The missile, designed to carry multiple nuclear warheads and replace Soviet-era systems, struck its target at the Kura test range in Kamchatka approximately 30 minutes after launch. Russian officials claim the Sarmat has an extended range and can approach targets via unconventional flight paths, including over the South Pole .
The announcement of the Sarmat missile test coincided with the expiration of a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russia violated the ceasefire by launching approximately 200 drone strikes overnight, targeting energy facilities, apartment buildings, and civilian infrastructure across multiple regions, including Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv. At least one civilian was killed, and 16 others were injured in the attacks. Russia claimed it intercepted 27 Ukrainian drones during the same period .
EU defense ministers condemned the renewed Russian attacks, emphasizing that sanctions against Moscow must remain in place and be strengthened. They called for continued international pressure to push Russia toward a "real, lasting ceasefire" .

Putins Credibility Has Suffered in the Iran War. Or Has It? Despite its long slog in Ukraine and the loss of former allies like Syria, Russia is benefiting from costly energy, a clever narrative and Americas own failure to achieve a quick victory.
