Russian President Vladimir Putin made another resonant statement, hinting at the possibility of using the hypersonic missile “Oreshnik” to strike at “decision-making centers” in Kyiv.
This was reported by “URA-Inform” with reference to PolitExpert.net
< p>According to Putin, Moscow is considering using the Oreshnik only for attacks on large strategic targets, since using hypersonic weapons against small objects is impractical.
“Striking small targets with a hypersonic missile is like shooting sparrows with a cannon,” the president added.
Experts note that such statements from Moscow significantly increase the level of tension in the region. The possibility of strikes on the Ukrainian capital increases the international community's concerns about further escalation of the conflict.
In addition, the Russian side continues to demonstrate its readiness to use all available means to achieve its military goals, which complicates the situation at the diplomatic level.
Against this backdrop, the US is calling on Kyiv to lower the age of mobilization to 18 years.
