Biden confirms Russia used hypersonic missiles in Ukraine, ‘almost impossible to stop’

US President Joe Biden says that Russia has used hypersonic missiles in Ukraine, stating that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “back is against the wall” and is expected to use more severe tactics as the war has lingered.

Speaking at the Business Roundtable’s CEO Quarterly Meeting on Monday, Biden stated that the missiles “is the only thing that they can get through” Ukrainian defenses.

“This is a consequential weapon which is almost impossible to stop,” Biden said.

Biden also stated that  Putin didn’t anticipate how unified NATO and western allies would be in a global response to his aggression in Ukraine.

 “The more his back is against the wall, the greater severity of the tactics he may employ,” Biden warned.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
