Russia has used its nuclear-capable ballistic missile — dubbed Oreshnik — three times in the war against Ukraine. According to the Kremlin, it is a "state-of-the-art" weapon that cannot be intercepted.

Citing Ukrainian and Western intelligence reports, Zelensky said Russia appeared to be preparing an Oreshnik missile strike on Ukraine.

Russia has likely struck the city of Bila Tserkva in Kyiv Oblast with an Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile.
