Putin just tested a new long-range missile. What does that mean?

Russia’s recent

missile has renewed concerns about escalation of the current war in Ukraine. Some analysts viewed the missile test as evidence of President Vladimir Putin’s
isolation as his ill-fated campaign drags on — or even as nuclear
saber rattling. Putin himself
warned that Russia’s missile would “make those, who in the heat of frantic aggressive rhetoric try to threaten our country, think twice.”
