The name "Oreshnik" has no connection to reality and is purely a fantasy of dictator Vladimir Putin. NATO possesses all the data and understands precisely what weapon Russia used to strike Dnipro on November 21.
Mykhailo Podolyak, Adviser to the Head of Ukraine's President Office, made such a comment to the YouTube channel of RBC-Ukraine.
According to Podolyak, the name "Oreshnik" is just a fantasy of the Kremlin leader, Vladimir Putin. There are standard intercontinental ballistic missiles of varying ranges produced at the same facilities. These include missiles classified as "Yars," "Topol," "Kedr," and "Rubezh."
"This is all part of the classification. NATO has all the data and knows exactly what was used to strike Dnipro," said Adviser to the Head of Ukraine's President Office.
Strike on Dnipro
Last week, Russian terrorists launched a medium-range ballistic missile at Dnipro.
Following this, dictator Putin claimed that the strike was carried out using a new Russian missile he called "Oreshnik." The Kremlin leader also threatened the possibility of strikes on strategic sites in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.
According to Ukraine's Defense Intelligence, the name "Oreshnik" is not the missile's official name but refers to a research program under which this weapon was developed. The missile itself is known as "Kedr."
