Russian Oreshnik missile test proves lack of trust in the West, diplomat says – Russian Politics and Diplomacy

MOSCOW, December 4. /TASS/. The test of Russia’s new Oreshnik intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile has become a confirmation of the ability to recognize in advance the West’s malice and lack of trust in it, the ministry spokeswoman said of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova during a press briefing.

“I think this has already happened, and the test of the Oreshnik missile is proof of that,” she said in response to a question about how to stop trusting the West’s promises and to recognize in advance his wickedness.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on November 21 that the United States and its NATO allies had earlier announced they would allow Ukraine to use long-range weapons to strike inside Russia, after which American and British missiles struck Russian military installations in Kursk and Bryansk. regions. He said Russia responded to these attacks by firing Russia’s newest Oreshnik intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile with a non-nuclear warhead at a Ukrainian defense industry facility, the Yuzhmash factory in Dnepr (formerly Dnepropetrovsk) . The Russian leader stressed that the West’s provocative policies could have disastrous consequences if they further escalate the conflict.
