In a press conference on Friday, Putin said that the so-called Oreshnik high-speed missile had been successfully tested on Dnipro and that he intends to continue using the weapon on the battlefield.
“We will continue these trials, including in combat environment, depending on the situation and security threats to Russia,” Putin said, according to the Russian news agency TASS.
The Russian leader said that the Oreshnik missile, which means hazel tree in Russian, flew at 10 times the speed of sound and could not be intercepted by air defense systems.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the attack on Dnipro amounted to “a clear and severe escalation” in the war and was “yet more proof that Russia has no interest in peace.”
