Russia in missile tests, on day Kremlin admits negotiations are "stalled"

Russian forces tested the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile this Friday, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported. The test was carried out on the same day that the Kremlin publicly acknowledged that the peace negotiations process with Ukraine is "completely stalled." The Ministry of Defense did not provide additional details about the intercontinental ballistic missile test. The Kremlin, for its part, confirmed the halt of peace negotiations, signaling a significant setback in diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. This test occurs at a time of growing tension between Russia and Western countries, which have supported Ukraine with weapons and sanctions. The halt of peace negotiations suggests there are no immediate prospects for a resolution of the conflict.
