A US intelligence assessment has concluded that Russia may use its lethal new intermediate-range ballistic missile against Ukraine again in "coming days", a US official says.The experimental Oreshnik missile is seen by US officials more as an attempt at intimidation than a game-changer on the battlefield in Ukraine, according to a US official who spoke on Wednesday on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive information.The threat comes as both sides work to gain a battlefield advantage in the nearly three-year war that President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to end, and just days after the US promised close to $1 billion in new security aid to Ukraine. Other Western allies have suggested negotiations to end the war could begin this winter.
