Putin Targets Ukraine\’s Decision‑Making Centers with New Ballistic Missiles

Putin Unveils Ukraine Targets for Oreshnik Missiles

The Astana Powwow

At the recent Collective Security Treaty Organization summit in Astana, Russian leader Vladimir Putin got the crowd in the seat of their pants. He was clear, candid, and, as always, peppered the conversation with a bit of bravado.

What’s on the Target List?

  • Military bases – You know the usual suspects.
  • Defense industry plants – Where the war machines are born.
  • Decision‑making centres in Kyiv – Because strategic brains are as targetable as steel.

Retaliation Blueprint

Putin’s tone was double‑taked. He warned that Moscow will not sit idly if anyone strikes back. The message? If a Western‑made long‑range missile lands on Russian soil, the Oreshnik will be ready to play back in the same high‑velocity style it demonstrated on November 21.

Takeaway

In short, the Kremlin is laying down its playbook, and the world’s watching. The stakes are high, the tone is fierce, and the bricks and mortar of diplomacy are a few flips from a missile strike.

MI6’s Former Chief Calls the UK Already in a “Real War” with Russia

Last Thursday, Russia launched a massive missile and drone onslaught across Ukraine, targeting the nation’s energy grid and plunging nearly a million households into darkness. The Ukrainian Air Force issued a full‑scale alert, warning the public about the looming missile threat while Russian Tu‑95 bombers took off, and explosions rattled several cities.

Key Voices from the Frontline

  • Herman Halushchenko – Kyiv’s Energy Minister: “Russian air strikes are happening everywhere in Ukraine. Residents hit by power outages have been instructed to seek shelter; emergency generators are kicking in.”
  • Andriy Yermak – Head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office: “They’re stockpiling weapons from North Korea, Iran, and China, gearing up to hit our energy infrastructure. The goal? To freeze Ukrainians into submission this winter.”

Yermak’s Hard‑Hitting Take

“They’ve amped up their missile arsenal, planning strikes on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, targeting civilians in cold weather during the winter,” Yermak said, sounding a very stern warning that this isn’t just a “back‑up” exercise but a deliberate campaign.

What This Means for the UK

When the former spinner‑chief air‑safety champ warns that the UK is already in a real war, he’s not just flipping the script. He’s urging vigilance, a quick response plan, and a heartfelt push to safeguard every home and office from a similar kind of strike, even if it’s ground‑level, night‑time or tech‑intensive.
