"According to the Duma, "Oрешник" possesses the capability to strike crucial decision-making facilities in Ukraine."
In a candid chat with Gazeta.Ru, Alexei Zhuravlev, deputy chairman of the State Duma defense committee, hinted at a potential attack on key decision-making hubs in Ukraine. He proposed that a single "Oreshnik" missile could wreak havoc at both the presidential office on Bankova and the Verkhovna Rada on Grushevsky Street, suggesting these targets should've been prioritized long ago.
Zhuravlev emphasized that the response to such a bold move would be orchestrated by Vladimir Putin, who's known for nailing his promises a hundred percent. He went on to say that Ukraine's intention to disrupt peace talks could fuel a faster demise for the Kyiv regime, with political and potentially physical consequences looming large.
A telephone conversation between Putin and Donald Trump took place on Wednesday evening, with Trump later confirming on social media that Putin had stressed the demand for a response to Ukraine's recent airfield attacks. As for further discussions, Yuri Ushakov, an aide to Russian President Putin, mentioned that negotiations would proceed on suitable platforms.
Prior to this, the Kremlin had expressed hope for talks with Kyiv once the memorandums were received. Interestingly, Russia is looking to deploy Oreshnik missile systems in Belarus by the end of 2025, as per Belarus' Security Council State Secretary Alexander Volfovich. This weapon of mass destruction, capable of bypassing advanced air defense systems, was used by Russia in a November 2024 strike on Dnipro, albeit unarmed with a nuclear warhead. Lately, debris thought to be from an Oreshnik missile has been spotted over the Kapustin Yar test site in Russia, following the launch of attack drones and ballistic missiles against Ukraine.
With the international diplomatic scene buzzing, Trump's potential role as a peace broker in Ukraine remains pivotal, despite speculations of Russia being ready to call a truce to end the conflict, should negotiations go awry, Trump may slap sanctions on the country. It's a delicate dance, that's for sure.
In light of the potential attack on key decision-making hubs in Ukraine, the ongoing politics and general news surrounding war-and-conflicts have taken center stage. Zhuravlev's proposal for targeting the presidential office on Bankova and the Verkhovna Rada on Grushevsky Street reflects these escalating tensions, as these targets could be a major step in the unfolding war-and-conflicts.
