Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared the use of the latest ballistic missile of the Medium Range "Oreshnik" in non -nuclear hypersonic equipment. The blow, he said, was directed across the Southern Machine -Building Plant in Ukraine.
Putin noted that it was a response to the strikes in Russia, which were allegedly inflicted with the help of American and British weapons. The Kremlin also stressed that he considers himself the right to strike the objects of countries that support Ukraine in the military field.
The Russian president added that the Oreshnik rocket is allegedly unique, and there is no means in the world that can counteract it.
There was no official reaction from the international community to this statement. However, if the use of hypersonic weapons is confirmed, it can cause significant escalation in the Ukrainian-Russian conflict and further complicate diplomatic efforts to settle it.
