"NATO has all the data": Podoliak explains why the name "Oreshnik" has nothing to do with reality

The Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin lied when he called the missile that hit the Dnipro River on November 21 "Oreshnik". This name is an invention of the so-called president of the Russian Federation.

The statement was made by Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Presidential Administration, in an interview with the RBC-Ukraine YouTube channel. He emphasized that the North Atlantic Alliance has all the data and understanding of what weapons the aggressor used for this attack.

The deputy head of the Presidential Office explained that there are standard intercontinental ballistic missiles of various ranges that are produced at the same enterprises. In particular, these are missiles classified as Yars, Topol, Kedr and Rubezh.

"It's all in the classification. NATO has all the data and understands what exactly hit the Dnipro," Podolyak said.

Earlier, Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said that the aggressor used an experimental medium-range ballistic missile "Kedr" to strike the Dnipro. Putin, calling it "Oreshnik," used the name of a research and development project to develop this weapon.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, diplomat Volodymyr Ohryzko believes that Vladimir Putin's threats to the North Atlantic Alliance will remain just that, threats. But for Ukraine, the new enemy's Oreshnik/Kedr missiles are dangerous - possible repeated firing of these weapons in their non-nuclear version should be treated "with caution, but without panic."
