US EditionRussia’s nuclear-capable Oreshnik missiles have entered active service, Moscow says
Russia deployed up to 10 Oreshnik missiles in Belarus, capable of striking all Europe, to strengthen its position during critical peace talks on Ukraine, 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.
