  • President Vladimir Putin's deployment of the Oreshnik, a nuclear-capable weapon, serves as a powerful political statement aimed not only at Ukraine but also at sending chilling messages to its Western allies about Russia's military prowess and resolve.
  • As the conflict intensifies, international leaders, including those from Canada, the UK, Germany, and France, have condemned Russia's actions, labeling the strikes as an unacceptable escalation that threatens regional stability.
