President Biden said tonight that Russian forces fired a hypersonic missile in Ukraine as Ukrainian forces are 'wreaking havoc' with Russia's military
"They've just launched their hypersonic missile because it's the only thing they can get through with absolute certainty," Biden said of Russian forces.
"As you all know, it's a consequential weapon ... but with the same warhead on it as any other launched missile. It doesn't make that much difference except it's almost impossible to stop it. There's a reason they're using it," he continued. The more Putin's "back is against the wall, the greater the severity of the tactics he may employ," Biden noted.
