Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that his forces could target 'decision-making centers' in Kyiv with a new hypersonic ballistic missile known as the Oreshnik, in retaliation for Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian territory using Western-supplied missiles like Storm Shadow and ATACMS. Putin stated that the Russian General Staff and the Ministry of Defense are currently selecting targets in Ukraine, which could include military facilities, defense industry enterprises, or decision-making centers in Kyiv. This threat comes as a direct response to Ukraine's use of Western weapons, escalating the ongoing conflict between the two nations.
