Putin brandishing his Oreshnik to thwart Trump's efforts after his inauguration - Zelenskyy

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that russian dictator putin now wants to escalate the situation in order to complicate any diplomatic efforts by new President Donald Trump to end the war.

Zelenskyy said this in an evening address.

Zelenskyy noted that today in Kazakhstan, putin again advertised his Oreshnik missiles. The President believes that the escalation now is pressure to later force the US President to accept russia's conditions.

"He doesn't need the end of this war. In addition, putin wants to prevent others from ending this war. He can only wave his Oreshnik now in order to thwart President Trump's efforts, which will definitely happen after the inauguration. Putin wants to escalate the situation nowб so that President Trump doesn't succeed, so that he can't end the war. Putin is the only culprit of this war and the only one who believes in war," the President said.

We will remind you that today, in several regions, Kalibr strikes with cluster munitions on civilian infrastructure were recorded.
