Kremlin says hypersonic missile strike on Ukraine was a warning to the west

The Kremlin said on Friday that a strike on Ukraine using a newly developed hypersonic ballistic missile was designed to warn the west that Moscow will respond to moves by the US and the UK to let Kyiv strike Russia with their missiles.

According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, was speaking a day after Russian president, Vladimir Putin, said Moscow had fired the new missile – the Oreshnik or ‘hazel tree’- at a Ukrainian military facility.

Peskov said Russia had not been obliged to warn the US about the strike, but had informed the US 30 minutes before the launch anyway. Putin remained open to dialogue, Peskov said.

    Any time you end a thought with “so therefore threatening nuclear holocaust is justified” you’re the bad guys.

      The fact that you don’t understand how idiotic that statement is says volumes about you. Imagine for a second what would happened if Russia started lobbing missiles into Florida from Cuba. Oh wait, we don’t have to imagine we know exactly what would happen. Killer clowns like you are gonna be the reason our civilization ends.

          The USA literally has a torture camp in Cuba with admittedly innocent people being held for life.

          I swear to god Americans know more about the Marvel movies than about their fucking state.

            apologies for not exactly spelling it out for you - is the US actively bombing innocent cubans? I get it, there’s a torture camp- wish it didn’t exist. analogies don’t have to be perfect.
