Putin says Russia could hit 'decision-making centres' in Kyiv with new missile
Oreshnik hypersonic missile to attack «decision-making centres» in Kyiv in response to Ukraine's firing of Western missiles at Russian territory, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.
Russia has not so far struck Ukrainian government ministries, parliament or the president's office in the course of the 33-month war.
Kyiv is heavily protected by air defences, but Putin says the Oreshnik, which Russia fired for the first time at a Ukrainian city last week, is incapable of being intercepted — a claim greeted with scepticism by Western experts.
«Of course, we will respond to the ongoing strikes on Russian territory with long-range Western-made missiles, as has already been said, including by possibly continuing to test the Oreshnik in combat conditions, as was done on November 21,» Putin told leaders of a security alliance of ex-Soviet countries at a summit in Kazakhstan.
«At present, the Ministry of Defence and the General Staff are selecting targets to hit on Ukrainian territory. These could be military facilities, defence and industrial enterprises, or decision-making centres in Kyiv,» he said.
