Dmitry Medvedev shared a video of Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile striking a Ukrainian defense facility in Dnepropetrovsk, clarifying that it wasn’t an ICBM, but a medium-range missile developed after the US withdrew from the INF Treaty. The strike responded to Ukraine's use of Western long-range missiles against Russian territory. Putin warned further actions by Ukraine and its allies would trigger a suitable response, emphasizing the Oreshnik’s speed makes it invincible to air defenses.
