Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the Oreşnik missiles are Russia's newest and most powerful weapon, announcing that mass production will begin soon. PUTIN'S STRIKING STATEMENTRussian President Vladimir Putin evaluated the latest situation in Ukraine and the country's security, as well as global and regional issues, during a meeting of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Emphasizing the importance of improving the combat readiness and capacity of the armed forces, Putin described 2024 as a turning point in achieving the objectives of the special military operation in Ukraine. Putin said, "This year, 189 settlements have been liberated. Thanks to the professionalism and courage of our soldiers, the heroic work of the defense industry personnel, and the nationwide support given to our army and navy, our troops have a tight control over strategic objectives." ACCUSATION AGAINST THE USAReiterating the government's determination to ensure the country's security and achieve strategic goals, Putin accused the USA of fueling the conflicts in Ukraine by sending weapons, funds, and military advisors. Russian President Putin pointed out that the global military-political climate is both challenging and unstable, highlighting ongoing conflicts and increasing tensions in many regions. Putin stated, "Bloodshed continues in the Middle East, and there are significant risks of conflict in many other parts of the world." "THE USA IS PUSHING US TO A RED LINE"Expressing concerns about NATO's increasing presence in the Asia-Pacific region and preparations to deploy missiles with a range of up to 5,500 kilometers, Putin stated that these actions pose significant risks to global stability and lead to a loss of trust and cooperation in international security. Speaking about the USA's policy towards Russia, Putin said, "They scare their people by claiming that we plan to attack someone under the pretext of the so-called 'Russian threat.' The tactic is simple; they push us to a red line from which we will not retreat, and when we respond, they escalate the fear of a Russian threat." "WE ARE STARTING MASS PRODUCTION OF OREŞNIK MISSILES"Emphasizing that the policy of nuclear deterrence continues in Russia's updated military doctrine, Putin rejected accusations of a nuclear war threat. Speaking about the production of the Oreşnik missiles developed by Russia, Putin stated, "As you know, the medium-range missile system Oreşnik has become Russia's newest and most powerful weapon. It was successfully used in response to attacks on our territory in November. Mass production of such systems is expected to begin soon to ensure the security of Russia and its allies."
