Kremlin says hypersonic missile strike on Ukraine was a warning to the west

The Kremlin said on Friday that a strike on Ukraine using a newly developed hypersonic ballistic missile was designed to warn the west that Moscow will respond to moves by the US and the UK to let Kyiv strike Russia with their missiles.

According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, was speaking a day after Russian president, Vladimir Putin, said Moscow had fired the new missile – the Oreshnik or ‘hazel tree’- at a Ukrainian military facility.

Peskov said Russia had not been obliged to warn the US about the strike, but had informed the US 30 minutes before the launch anyway. Putin remained open to dialogue, Peskov said.

      From:

      Last I checked it was NATO that started launching missiles into Russia escalating the conflict, but do go on champ.

      To:

      One problem being that Ukraine isn’t a member state. 🤡

      So which one is it?

      Would you also say that North Korea is attacking Ukraine since it’s North Korean artillery shells being lobbed into Ukraine?

        What’s the contradiction there? NATO wasn’t directly involved in the war in Ukraine, now it is. What part of that are you struggling to understand?

        Meanwhile, zero actual evidence for DPRK attacking Ukraine, but I guess that’s not going to stop western intellectuals from talking about it.

          I forgot we live in “what I don’t like is obviously not true” land here, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, for example actual footage of North Korean soldiers arriving in Russian training camps, Putin himself doesn’t even denies it, but anything to lick some boot I guess.

          You’re not arguing in good faith, as exemplified by your double standards regarding foreign involvement, so I know that you’re gonna write something about “manipulated footage”, ask for sources you could easily Google yourself and overall try to move the overall framing of the conversation to something else because the exchange of information is not the point for you.

          I have neither the strength nor the patience to argue with utterly deranged idiots whose worldview would make Marx roll over in his grave.

            You wouldn’t know what arguing in good faith was if it hit you in the face bud.
