The owner of the Kremlin relies on his intimidation to persuade the West to make decisions beneficial to the Russian Federation.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin views the Oreshnik ballistic missile as part of a conventional deterrent. In his imagination, this should persuade the West to make decisions beneficial to the Russian Federation, against the backdrop of the previous unsuccessful rhetoric about nuclear weapons. This was stated by analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
According to analysts, Putin often talks about his Hazel recently, who pursues certain goals. First, to create fear and uncertainty about the harm Hazel could cause. Second, to pressure Ukraine’s partners to limit Ukrainian strikes on Russian military targets using Western weapons.
“Putin has flagged Oreshnik’s non-nuclear capabilities, likely to ensure a shift from his nuclear stance, while Ukrainian and Western actions have challenged the Kremlin’s nuclear saber-rattling every time it is used,” analysts said.
Earlier it was reported that Vladimir Putin proposed to strike Kyiv with an Oreshnik missile to check whether the Western air defense system is capable of intercepting it.
