US Officials Warn of Imminent Russian Missile Strikes on Ukraine
In a series of alarming announcements, US intelligence agencies have warned that Russia may be preparing to deploy a new lethal missile, the Oreshnik, against Ukraine in the coming days. Officials indicated that this intermediate-range ballistic missile could be launched soon, raising concerns about the escalation of the conflict. President Putin has previously claimed that the Oreshnik missile renders nuclear weapons obsolete, emphasizing its strategic importance. As tensions rise, the Pentagon has scheduled a news briefing to address the situation, while reports suggest that Russia is capable of producing these missiles rapidly, despite conflicting information about their production rates.
