Vladimir Putin warns West as Russia hits Ukraine with new missile | BBC News



Russian President Vladimir Putin said an attack by his forces on the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday morning was carried out using โ€œa new conventional intermediate-range missileโ€.

He said that the missile, codenamed Oreshnik, was a response to Ukraineโ€™s use of US and UK-supplied long-range weaponry towards targets inside Russia.

Putin also suggested Russia could attack military facilities of those countries which allowed their weapons to be used for this purpose.

The US and the UK authorised the use of US ATACMS and UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles this week, in a major change of policy.

  1. 20 years ago we were all still terrified of nuclear war. We had better perspective back then. There is no TikTok or Youtube in a post-nuclear ash-bucket. Just hoping people get some perspective again while thereยดs still time.

  2. Sorry, is no one seeing that the Putin videos are AI and really bad at that? The entire background and also his hands (as you can see in the original videos) are a static image and don't move even a pixel ever, whereas the shape of the chair which is a solid object unlike the flags or his sleeves and is not supposed to move shows pixel variation all the time? Not to mention the other glaringly AI stuff.

  3. A Russian here. We, Russians, were very shocked when Putin started this war. It was an idea too bizzarre to imagine. Now, the threat of a III world war seems very real. Russia has missiles that can reach Pentagon. Russia has missiles faster than sound. Ukraine attacked Russian territory (I mean Kursk area), and it's a mystery to me why Putin didn't start total mobilization to combat that. Anyway, now we all know what he is capable of. I wouldn't play with fire if i were Biden. I would impeach Biden if I were an American people, for his permission to use US missiles on Russian territory. Now Russians hope that the new businessman president of the USA will manage to do something. He seems the only hope, because none of the warring parties care to communicate. I live in Russia and I can tell you, it is not so easy to watch youtube – it is basically blocked. There is no way I can get direct information from a Ukrainean. All info channels are blocked, I can consume only what I am fed. And so do you.

  5. So it's OK for Putin to use foreign weapons and N. Korean troops without criticism but starts whinging when the west allows Ukrain to use modern weapkns that Putin cannot match. Putin is all mouth and no trousers as any attack on the west would certainly mean is end and that of Russia. Plus, I doubt he has any capable nuclear weapons that need high maintenance something Russia is not well known for.

  6. Read this if you still think Putin is the bad guy.

    Russia: The Soviet Union no longer exists, can you let us into NATO like

    everyone else?

    US: No

    Russia: Okay, but can you please not threaten us by expanding NATO to the East?

    US: No

    Russia: Alright, we saw you're developing new missile systems, will you let us work on them with you?

    US: No

    Russia: Fine, hypersonic missiles it is, but can you at least not put military bases right in front of our borders?

    US: No

    Russia: Well, you just carried out a military coup to overthrow a democratic election in Ukraine, can we still have a friendly relationship with them?

    US: No

    Russia: Gotcha, but the people of Crimea are really pissed off about that coup, can you please let them have independence?

    US: No

    Russia: Roger, but surely you can at the very least stop bombing the civilians living in Donbass, right?

    US: No

    Russia: Huh, we've been trying to find a diplomatic solution for 8 years, but you refuse to even talk to us… I guess that if you want to use military force to solve issues so much, we have no choice but to do the same.

    US: OH MY GOD PUTIN IS A MADMAN, AN IMPERIALIST GENOCIDAL DICTATOR, LITERALLY THE SECOND COMING OF HITLER, WE MUST STOP HIM AT ANY COST BEFORE HE TRIES TO CONQUER ALL OF EUROPE

  7. Russias "warning" to the US today (nov 27) signals fear and pressure. "Do not give Ukraine what they want, we will establish a phoneline to warn about test-firing nukes"(why now, at last?) etc.
    This sends the message that they're under immense pressure, material-wise and how to coceal to the russian people the enourmous losses in dead & wounded (ca 1500/day in Kursk only, acc to many reports). The nation runs on a thin line of implosion, and the rethoric and meat-grinder actions add on to that fact. The real danger right now are maybe not them using nukes, but the new US presidents actions, who only has shown admiration of Putins actions and personalities. People confuses a strong leader with a leader who is easily led, so the change in governement, with right wing show-hosts and youtuber types in the new cabinet is a dream come true for Russia and NK.

  8. Yup…Ukraine was thinking that Russia is making empty threats, and look at them now. This lady is saying that he's making empty threats with nuclear weapons, like we're talking about something ordinary. Does she realize what is NUCLEAR WEAPON? What would that mean!? Why should everyone be praying that he keeps calm and NATO stops provoking him? If Trump really ends that conflict, nobody can say shit to him anymore.

  9. Well done liberals. A lot of people will lose their lives this winter. Stop supporting Ukraines war efforts so they can accept defeat and come to the table. The war cannot be won. NATO reneged on their agreements and prodded the bearโ€ฆThey lost.

    This liberal ideology is the most immoral and dangerous ideology ever created. Iraq, Syria, Libyaโ€ฆ wake the F up.

  11. Why these great opinionists just don' t say that those that were supposed to fight with shovels have different hypersonic missiles already operative, while US start testing their fist on may 2024, they are at least 5/10 years ahead on this particular segment… we keep on provoking a war that without UK, USA would have never been started.
