Putin’s threats underscore his intent to maintain military pressure on Ukraine while seeking to project strength internationally. The Oreshnik missiles, designed for high precision and destructive capability, add to Moscow’s arsenal for strategic intimidation.
The international community has condemned Russia’s escalating rhetoric and aggression, urging restraint to avoid further destabilization. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to call for stronger global sanctions and military support to counter Russian advances.
