Russia's use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine in recent days is a sign that the military could be resorting to using more destructive weaponry, but also an opportunity for Russia to flaunt weapons it has been developing for several years.

CNBC has a brief guide to hypersonic missiles and what Russia claims to have used.

Russia's Defense Ministry said in a statement on Saturday that it had used Kinzhal missiles to destroy a large Ukrainian storage base.

When it comes to the invasion of Ukraine, President Joe Biden said that Russian President Vladimir Putin could resort to more severe tactics.

Biden said that Putin could use false flags to justify a chemical or biological weapons attack on Ukraine.

He's setting up false flags that we in America have biological as well as chemical weapons in Europe.

They are suggesting that Ukraine has chemical and biological weapons. Biden said that it was a clear sign that he was considering using both of those. If Russia used such weapons, there would be severe consequences.

Concerns have risen in recent weeks that Russia could use chemical weapons in Ukraine because of the resistance from the Ukrainian forces and civilians.

The threat posed by Moscow and Putin is serious and credible.

There are increasing signs of desperation in Russia, according to close watchers of Moscow and Putin.

Kurt Volker, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO, told CNBC that he didn't think Russia could win.

They are bogged down. They are having trouble with supplies. They are having problems with the bullets. They can't take the major cities. They are not moving. They are threatening to attack NATO countries, calling in Syrians or asking the Chinese for help, and raising the possibility of biological or chemical use.

His views were echoed by other analysts.

We hate the troops who are destroying us and killing our people. If we want peace, we need to sit down and talk. You have to negotiate. To negotiate, not to execute ultimatums.
