This was stated by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his evening address.
He noted that today during his visit to Kazakhstan, «Putin again advertised his missiles — his willingness to kill and destroy.»
He also added that the president of the Russian Federation is not interested in ending the war, but on the contrary, he wants to prevent others from ending this war, in particular Donald Trump.
«He can wave his Oreshnik now only in order to frustrate the efforts of President Trump, which will definitely take place after the inauguration. Putin wants to escalate the situation now so that nothing will happen to Trump — so that he will not be able to end the war,» says Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
It should be noted that on November 28 in Astana (Kazakhstan), Vladimir Putin threatened to strike «decision-making centers» in Kyiv with Oreshnik missiles.
He stated this during the summit of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization), writes TASS.
According to the President of the Russian Federation, the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense of Russia are «currently selecting targets to hit» with Oreshnik missiles on the territory of Ukraine.
«In case of massive use of the Oreshnik, the power of the strike will be comparable to nuclear weapons,» Vladimir Putin said.
It will be recalled that on November 21, Russia struck the city of Dnipro with the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile, which is equipped with a non-nuclear hypersonic variant.
