President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia is preparing a strike on Ukraine using the hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile, citing intelligence from Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe.
The warning follows Putin's order for retaliation options after a drone strike on a dormitory in Luhansk. Ukraine denied involvement.
Zelenskiy noted signs of a combined strike involving intermediate-range weapons.
The Oreshnik, boasting speeds over Mach 10, was used twice before: in November 2024 and January 2026. Zelenskiy urged preventive action from global partners.
