Putin suggested that Russia would fire Oreshnik missiles, which have several warheads and are as powerful as a nuclear bomb.
In a recent remark, Vladimir Putin cast doubt on Donald Trump’s safety after several assassination attempts while hailing him as a “intelligent politician” who will ultimately “find a solution” to stop the war.
At the same time, the Russian president threatened Kyiv with destructive Oreshnik rockets. He stated at a news conference in Kazakhstan that no air defense system can effectively stop these intermediate-range weapons, which were recently used against the city of Dnipro.
Putin worries about Donald Trump’s safety while praising him.
Putin, speaking to reporters in Kazakhstan, cited assaults on Trump, including one that occurred in July in Pennsylvania during the Republican’s campaign rally in Butler, where a gunshot brushed his ear, causing it to bleed heavily—an incident that was caught on tape. Trump’s Mar-A-Lago golf club resort in Florida had another incident in September when a man was taken into custody for reportedly setting up a rifle at one of his golf courses.
Putin expressed dismay at the scathing abuse Trump and his family received throughout the election and called the attacks “uncivilized.” He advised Trump to exercise caution and cautioned that he was still vulnerable despite his intelligence.
The recently elected president is, as far as I can judge, a bright and seasoned individual. The Russian leader stated, “I believe he will find a solution.” He went on to say, “By the way, in my opinion, he is not safe now,” citing the “absolutely uncivilized methods used to battle against Trump, up to and including an assassination attempt – and more than once.”
Putin speculated that the U.S. might be escalating tensions with Russia, citing the Biden administration’s recent decision to give Ukraine an advantage. He suggested this could either be a strategy to provide Trump with something to reverse if he returns to office, or a move to complicate his relationship with Russia. He reiterated that Moscow remains open to dialogue. Meanwhile, Trump has promised to end the war within 24 hours of assuming office, though how he plans to do so remains unclear.
Putin uses Oreshnik rockets to threaten Kyiv
According to CNN, Putin allegedly threatened to unleash more of Russia’s most recent medium-range ballistic missiles, which were used in the Ukrainian region of Dnipro last week. The Oreshnik missile may carry several warheads and a nuclear payload at the same time.
He declared, “We will employ the resources available to us.” “Given that Kyiv authorities still try to attack our critical facilities today, we do not rule out the use of Oreshnik against the (Ukrainian) military, against military industrial facilities, or against decision-making centers, including in Kyiv.”
Putin explained that Russia’s new Oreshnik missile isn’t currently fitted with nuclear warheads, but he said it had “comparable strength to a nuclear strike” if fired repeatedly on a single target. Putin sees the US, UK, and France’s decision to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles as a reaction to Russia’s military operations, and this warning comes after that decision.
