Russia's recent use of the Oreshnik experimental ballistic missile against Ukraine has been revealed as a propaganda operation orchestrated by the Kremlin, military personnel, and intelligence agencies. The missile, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, was reportedly deployed to reignite fear in Kyiv and Western capitals, which had grown accustomed to Moscow's nuclear rhetoric. Russian officials have stated that the strike and its media coverage were carefully crafted to serve as psychological warfare, aiming to intimidate the West and bolster Russia's image amid ongoing tensions. The operation has also been described as a PR stunt following the failure of Putin's nuclear bluff.
