Putin Orders Military to Use "Oreshnik" Missile: A Strategic Nuclear Provocation
Russia's bold move to deploy nuclear-capable Oreshnik missiles in Belarus marks a significant escalation in regional tensions. These missiles, with a 4,000-kilometer range, potentially threaten NATO's eastern borders and *represent the first nuclear weapons deployed outside Russian territory since the Soviet era*.
Putin's deployment signals a direct challenge to Western support for Ukraine, using missile positioning as a strategic intimidation tool. With potential implications for European security, this development raises critical questions about future geopolitical dynamics.
