The United States does not rule out the possibility of a new Russian strike on Ukraine with the Oreshnik ballistic missile. The Pentagon will continue to support Ukraine with air defense systems and does not consider these weapons to be a turning point in the war.

The United States does not rule out that Russia may strike Ukraine with an intermediate-range ballistic missile "Oreshnik" in the coming days. This was stated by US Deputy Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh during a briefing, UNN reports.

Putin has publicly stated that Russia intends to launch another experimental Oreshnik missile, which you mentioned. It is possible that Russia may do so in the coming days. I don't have an exact date,

- Singh said.

According to her, if Russia attacks Ukraine with Oreshnik again, it will not be a turning point on the battlefield. In this way, Moscow will only try to inflict damage and losses on Ukraine.

We have seen this before, they are trying to use every weapon in their arsenal to intimidate Ukraine, but of course Ukraine continues to receive our support as they fight on the battlefield every day,

- She added.

Singh assured that the United States will continue to provide air defense systems to Ukraine, as they remain a priority request.
