Ukraine's Zelensky Says Russia Preparing New Oreshnik Hypersonic Missile Attack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia is preparing another attack using its Oreshnik hypersonic missile system. Russia has already deployed the Oreshnik missile twice in attacks on Ukraine, with Russian President Vladimir Putin touting the weapon as uninterceptable due to its claimed speed exceeding ten times the speed of sound. The Oreshnik represents Russia's latest escalation in its use of advanced weaponry in the ongoing conflict that began with its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
