During the assault, Russia launched 600 drones and 90 missiles, including an Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile. This is the third time Russia has used the weapon against Ukraine, which struck Bila Tserkva, roughly 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of Kyiv. At least four people were killed, and nearly 100 were injured across the country. According to the presentation, Russian Zircon, Kalibr and Kh-101 missiles, as well as Geran-2 drones, contained parts manufactured in Switzerland, Germany, the US, UK, Japan and China, including components produced this year. Officials also displayed separate electronic boards from the Russian “Oreshnik” missile that contained exclusively Russian and Belarusian components manufactured between 2004 and 2014. The comments come amid a planned rapprochement between Minsk and Washington, while Kyiv also warned that Moscow may draw Belarus deeper into the invasion.
