Ukraine accuses Russia of using INF-banned 9M729 missiles in repeated strikes

Ukraine has accused Russia of using a ground-launched cruise missile whose secret development once triggered the collapse of a key Cold War-era arms treaty. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Moscow has fired the 9M729, or SSC-8, missile at Ukraine multiple times since August, calling its use proof of “Russia’s complete disregard for international arms control norms.”
