US EditionRussia Deploys Oreshnik Missile System to Belarus
Russia stationed up to 10 hypersonic Oreshnik missiles in Belarus to strengthen deterrence against NATO amid ongoing Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations, officials said.
- Russia's Ministry of Defense announced Tuesday that the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile system entered active service, with troops holding a ceremony in Belarus where the missiles were deployed.
- Vladimir Putin, Russian President, said this month the Oreshnik would enter combat duty as U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President, Sunday amid Russia-Ukraine peace talks.
- Moscow first used the Oreshnik experimentally against a Dnipropetrovsk region factory in Dnipro, and Russia's missile forces chief says it can carry conventional or nuclear warheads and reach all of Europe.
- At a meeting Monday, Vladimir Putin emphasized creating military buffer zones and warned Moscow will extend gains if Kyiv and Western allies reject Kremlin demands, threatening NATO allies aiding Kyiv.
- Such weapons recall the Soviet-era treaty that was abandoned by Washington and Moscow; intermediate-range missiles can fly between 500 to 5,500 kilometers and negotiators seek progress on Ukraine's Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
