Russia has once again used the hypersonic missile "Dagger" against Ukraine, this time near the border of the European Union. The strike, aimed at the Lviv region, has more of a political than a military effect, demonstrating a willingness to escalate. Despite the lack of destructive consequences, such as local gas supply interruptions, experts emphasize the risk of misinterpretation or a technical incident, given the missile's potential to carry a nuclear weapon. Ukraine has called the actions reckless and initiated emergency meetings of international organizations, demanding a clear response to the threat to regional security. The strike shows the Kremlin's willingness to use expensive weapons for pressure, rather than military success, as a warning signal to Europe.
