24 May Europe condemns Russia’s use of ‘Oreshnik’ missile

(Oilandgaspress) -–Today, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had again deployed its “Oreshnik” intermediate-range ballistic missile, this time in the Kyiv region. The Russian Defence Ministry later confirmed the launch, saying it came as part of a retaliatory attack following Ukrainian strikes against “civilian targets,” which Kyiv has denied.

Moscow’s use of the “Oreshnik” missile has sparked strong reactions abroad.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the massive Russian assault demonstrated “the Kremlin’s brutality and disregard for both human life and peace negotiations.”

Terror against civilians, she said, was “not strength” but “desperation.” She added that the European Union would continue supporting Ukraine, particularly by strengthening its air defence systems.
