Kyiv has condemned Russia’s use of the new Oreshnik missile in strikes on western Ukraine, labeling it a “grave threat” to European security due to its proximity to the EU and NATO borders. The missile, capable of speeds exceeding 13,000 km/h, was part of a series of attacks that resulted in casualties and damage to infrastructure. Ukraine has urged allies to increase pressure on Russia, while Moscow claims the strikes were retaliation for a Ukrainian drone attack. As discussions for a ceasefire continue, Russia has dismissed plans for European troop deployment, warning they would be viewed as military targets.
