Kremlin says hypersonic missile strike on Ukraine was a warning to the west

The Kremlin said on Friday that a strike on Ukraine using a newly developed hypersonic ballistic missile was designed to warn the west that Moscow will respond to moves by the US and the UK to let Kyiv strike Russia with their missiles.

According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, was speaking a day after Russian president, Vladimir Putin, said Moscow had fired the new missile – the Oreshnik or ‘hazel tree’- at a Ukrainian military facility.

Peskov said Russia had not been obliged to warn the US about the strike, but had informed the US 30 minutes before the launch anyway. Putin remained open to dialogue, Peskov said.

    Hey neighbor, you don't mind if I invite over my serial killer friend with "1488 gas all Devorlons" tattooed across his forehead to stay over for a while, right? Btw we're building a deer hunting stand in my yard with a perfect view of the couch you post from, don't freak out about it though. It's just a couple of guys hanging out.

      Yep, just you and your friend in your property, as long as you don't attack it doesn't matter.

        You genuinely think that someone who specifically wants to kill you making preparations from which they can kill you is fine, as long as they don't actually kill you? You're not a tiny bit bothered by the possibility of them actually killing you?
