Breaking: New Missiles Threaten the UK in 20 Minutes?

Yesterday’s Sizzle in Dnipro
On Thursday, Russian forces fired a “new type” missile at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro. The Air Force first said it was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), but the real kicker is the speed—or lack thereof—of these modern weapons.

What This Means for the UK and Beyond

Ukraine is the first country to be bombed by an intercontinental ballistic missile
UK warns Ukraine frontline is ‘less stable’ and there has been ‘very clear escalation from Putin’
Moscow threatens to attack US NATO base in Poland with ‘advanced weapons’
Russia’s “Original Short‑List” Targeting London
In a move that feels like a chess game gone off‑script, Russia has announced that it’s “directly involved in this war” and that the UK is now a legitimate target. If you think a bit of tension is good, just wait until you read the full story.
What’s the Deal with the Oreshnik?
Sources claim that the Russians are concealing a Cold‑War relic, the RS‑26 Rubezh missile, under a new codename: Oreshnik. It’s rumored to have a range of 5,000–6,000 km. In plain English that means London could be hit in about 20 minutes, Poland in 12 and Germany in 15. That’s faster than a grocery cart in a supermarket.
- UK – 20 minutes
- Poland – 12 minutes
- Germany – 15 minutes
Zelensky’s Take: “Time to Yell!”
Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, is not holding back. After Russia dropped its “powerful missile” on the Dnipro, he called for immediate action. His key lines: “Putin is lying about Ukraine using long‑range weapons, and it’s high time the world reacts.” He warned that if Russia doesn’t feel the heat, it will think its ambitions are harmless.
Bringing in the International Community
Both Putin and Zelensky are staring down the barrel of a geopolitical showdown. Putin seems to be testing how much the world can endure, while Zelensky is demanding a “harsh reaction” to stop Russia’s malintent. And guess what? “If there’s no strong response, the Russians will think they can do whatever they want.” That’s a pretty loud shout into the void.
Bottom Line
Think of Russia’s announcement as a public mic‑drop. The major point? If anyone enjoys watching a missile race a few minutes to cross borders, then the world’s got to act fast. And the world will all be doing so with a bit of humor and a touch of humanity—but let’s keep those iron bars off our heads, shall we?
