The war in Ukraine is going to get much worse

If all txhe peace efforts and summits fail to find a solution to ending the war in Ukraine I can see the conflict getting much worse and much more dangerous. Russia is already using every missile at its disposal, including hypersonic systems and long-range cruise missiles. But Ukraine has been developing its own missiles with longer and longer ranges and these weapons are likely to be used on a much greater scale in the future to hit targets in Russia. This is when the war will become more scary. Ukraine has now got a long-range ground-launched cruise missile it calls Flamingo. It has a reported range of 3,000 kilometres or about 1,800 miles. Right now they are building one Flamingo every day but the production rate is expected to increase significantly. With this weapon, Kyiv can hit Russian military targats deep inside Russia. Even Donald Trump agrees that hitting Russia itself is an obvious way forward if you want to win the war. Russia is going to get targeted more and more. Will this finally force Putin to seek a negotiated deal? It might help.
