00:00Russia has sent a thunderous

00:29message to Kyiv and its Western backers.

00:32Overnight, Moscow unleashed the Oreshnik hypersonic missile on Ukraine, a rare and deliberate

00:39show of force using one of Russia's most advanced strategic weapons.

00:45The strike underscores Russia's resolve as winter deepens, and the conflict enters a

00:49decisive phase.

00:52The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed a massive coordinated strike using high-precision, long-range

00:58weapons from land and sea.

01:04At the heart of the attack was the Oreshnik mobile medium-range missile system, capable

01:09of carrying multiple warheads and both conventional or nuclear payloads.

01:16Ukrainian air defenses acknowledged the missile's extraordinary speed.

01:21Ukraine's Air Command West said the projectile traveled at roughly 13,000 kilometers per hour,

01:28nearly 10 times the speed of sound, along a ballistic trajectory.

01:33Such speeds make interception extremely difficult.

01:36Russia's missile forces have previously stated that the Oreshnik's range allows it to reach

01:41targets across Europe.

01:44Last month, Moscow released footage showing the system deployed in Allied Belarus, reinforcing

01:49its strategic depth and deterrence posture.

01:56The launch carried political significance.

01:59Moscow said the attack was a direct response to what it described as Ukraine's attempted strike

02:04on President Vladimir Putin's residents last month, as well as growing Western military

02:10involvement.

02:11The launch came as Russia reiterated that any European troops deployed to Ukraine under a

02:16future peace deal would be considered legitimate targets.

02:20The message is clear.

02:21Moscow will not tolerate foreign military encroachment near its borders.

02:27Ukraine says Russia fired 18 missiles and more than 240 drones overnight, with strikes hitting

02:33Kyiv and other areas.

02:35For Moscow, the Oreshnik launch was not escalation for escalation's sake, but a calculated demonstration

02:42of technological superiority and strategic resolve.
