In a shocking turn of events, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has made the decision to order the mass production of a new type of ballistic missile known as the Oreshnik missile. This missile was reportedly used for the first time to target Ukraine, specifically in the eastern city of Dnipro. The deployment of this medium-range missile has raised alarm bells in both NATO and Ukraine, leading to emergency talks being called to address the situation.
President Putin has stated that Russia will be putting the Oreshnik missile into service under combat conditions, indicating a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has responded by announcing that Kyiv is actively working to develop new air defenses in order to protect against future attacks.
The use of the Oreshnik missile marks a dangerous development in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, further complicating efforts to achieve peace in the region. The international community will undoubtedly be closely monitoring the situation and working towards a resolution to prevent further escalation of hostilities.
