Zelenskyy responds to putin's idea to "experimentally" strike Kyiv with "Oreshnik"

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has responded to the words of the leader of the aggressor country, russia, vladimir putin, about an "experimental" strike on Kyiv with a new ballistic missile "Oreshnik", calling it inadequate.

Zelenskyy said this during a press conference in Brussels (Belgium), the Ukrainian News agency reports.

"Who are we dealing with? Today, a "comrade" from the Kremlin said that Russia is offering a technological duel. He says that we will strike, for example, somewhere in Kyiv with "Oreshnik", and let them put up air defenses and see what happens. Do you think this is an adequate person? Just scumbags," he said.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on Thursday, December 19, during the program "Results of the Year with Vladimir Putin", putin proposed conducting a technological experiment so that the West and Ukraine would identify an object in Kyiv, russia would hit it with the "Oreshnik", and air defense and missile defense systems would try to intercept it.

On November 21, russia attacked the city of Dnipro with an experimental intermediate-range ballistic missile "Oreshnik" ("Kedr"), which can carry a nuclear warhead.
