Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to continue testing and mass-producing the Oreshnik hypersonic missile, which has the capacity to target European nations. The missile, used in a recent attack on Ukraine, carries multiple warheads and is claimed to be unstoppable by existing air defenses. Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned this escalation, seeking enhanced air defenses from Western allies. Tensions escalate further as both nations engage in increased military operations, with Ukraine adopting long-range ATACMS missiles, and Russia threatening strikes on military facilities in supporting countries.
