Putin Vetoed Hypersonic Missile Strike On Zelensky’s Office, Belarusian President Says

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on Friday told reporters in an anecdote given to a press conference that Russian authorities had plans to directly attack Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office in Kiev, but that President Putin rejected the proposed action.

What’s more, Lukashenko said, is that it would have happened with the new Oreshnik missiles, which are medium-range hypersonics that Russian officials have touted as having the same destructive power as a low-yield nuclear strike.

RT News conveyed the Belarusian president’s remarks as describing unnamed figures in Russia suggested using the system against Kiev’s “decision-making centers” - but that Putin dismissed the plan by saying “absolutely not”.

“There would have been nothing left, if the strike would have taken place,” added Lukashenko.

There was no specific date or timeline attached to the story, and thus no way of verifying it - but very likely Russian military planners have long researched and prepared a large range of military options to present to Kremlin decision-makers.

RT has detailed that the “Oreshnik, Russia’s newly developed medium-range hypersonic missile system which can travel at speeds of up to Mach 10, has already entered serial production.”

“The system, which analysts claim cannot be intercepted, can carry nuclear or conventional warheads, and release multiple guided warheads,” the report added.
