Moscow is taking action in response to “atrocities” perpetrated by Kiev in Lugansk, the former UN weapons inspector has said.
Footage of the Russian strike near Ukrainian capital, Kiev, indicates that an Oreshnik missile was likely deployed by Moscow, former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter has said.
On Sunday night, Ukrainian media outlets and Telegram channels claimed that Russia fired its state-of-the-art intermediate-range hypersonic Oreshnik system at an unspecified target in the town of Belaya Tserkov in Kiev Region. They published footage showing clusters of bright objects rapidly descending from the skies. The Defense Ministry in Moscow has not officially confirmed the use of the munition.
The reported strike came after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Defense Ministry to “submit proposals” for a response to a Ukrainian drone attack on a teacher training school dormitory in the Lugansk People’s Republic on Friday, which killed 21 people, mostly teenage girls, and left 42 others wounded.
In his interview with RT, Ritter, who is a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, said that “there’s at least one strike in the vicinity of Kiev that has the visual characteristics of an Oreshnik missile.”
“It’s precisely the same six separate deliveries of six submunitions, 36 in total, mimicking the previous confirmed Oreshnik use” in November 2024 in Dnepropetrovsk and in January 2026 in Lviv, he noted.
Speaking about the possible target of the attack, the former UN inspector stressed that “there’s a reason to believe that the Oreshnik didn’t strike the center of Kiev, but rather hit a town outside of Kiev that has a military airfield that has been of some interest to the Russian forces in the past. Maybe there was something going on there that was worthy of an Oreshnik strike.”
“It’s clear… Russia is taking the promised action in response to the atrocities that happened in Lugansk,” he stressed.
The attack on the school dormitory was “an act of terror,” which crossed the line and again showed “the nefarious character of the Ukrainian government,” Ritter insisted.
The possible use of the Oreshnik is also a signal to the West as “an entire system… exists beyond Ukraine’s borders into Europe and perhaps… into the US that facilitates and empowers” Kiev’s drone attacks in Lugansk and elsewhere inside Russia, he added.
This could all have been avoided if the west honoured their agreement whereas Ukraine never joins NATO. If the west honoured this agreement, thousands of people would not had died.
A similar situation occurred in 1963 when Cuba allowed intermediate and long-range missiles from Russia to be setup in Cuba. just 90 miles from the US.
Such a short distance would leave little time to respond to any launch. President Kennedy skilfully negotiated the withdrawal of such wepons from Cuba.
The USSR placed warheads in Cuba in response to USA placing warheads in the UK and Europe.
‘…Oreshnik…hit a town outside of Kiev that has a military airfield that has been of some interest to the Russian forces ..’ NATO base.
Europe drooling when thinking about war with Russia and gaining control of all those resources.
Also: ‘Russian Foreign Ministry arranged a trip to Starobelsk on Sunday for more than 50 foreign journalists from 19 countries: Austria, Brazil, UK, Hungary, Venezuela, Germany, Greece, Spain, Italy, Qatar, China, Cuba, Lebanon, UAE, Pakistan, the US, Turkey, Finland, and France, …’ Where is Australia? Canada? Were there no journalists from New Zealand invited? And if they were and they declined to go, I am ashamed for them, the double dealing soulless hypocrites.
What cannot be described otherwise, with multiple drones hitting a dormatory, Ukraine has killed 21 school children, murdered with clear intention of inflicting terror: https://s.france24.com/media/display/221820da-55e6-11f1-ad46-005056bf30b7/w:980/9498c9a77a021e1911dd15246e077d6341ca70b5.webp
If one wants to see faces of true evil, just get a look at that:

But we need to add another photo of other faces of evil who support such terror overseas:

Look at them. Three faces of true evil. Not a word of remorse or outrage.
These are NOT representatives of Godzone. These are represenatives of evil psychopathy.
NATO, formally NAZI Germany are Russophbic. Russia succeeded in WWII where the West were not; but at the expense of 23 Million fallen Russian lives.
Without their boogeyman racket, NATO would be forced to show who they really are. Thus NATO countries continue to provoke Russia by umlawfully banning Russian speaking culture and to play the victim.
The attack on the school dormitory was “an act of terror,” which crossed the line and again showed “the nefarious character of the Ukrainian government,” quote by Scott Ritter former UN weapons inspector.
Not even a mention about the attack by cowardly EU nations shows their double standard.
Wtf is this idiot Ritter babbling on about. I couldn’t care less what Russia has hit. I only wish they had dropped it on Zelensky.
Settle down. Ritter is far from being an idiot!
And Putin has too much class to kill a head of a war state.
Far from babbling, Ritter’s quote [not this article] states reason for ‘Russia retaliatory strike’ [this article]. Retaliation response to Kiev/Zelenskyy targeting Russian school dormitory killing 21 young people.
In the past Russia has often targeted with their missiles those places in Ukraine where western mercenaries and advisers are hiding out: often put up in civilian apartments.
The lying legacy media never mentions the 14,000 Russian speaking Ukrainians who were killed by the Ukraine govt before Russia commenced their special military operation to protect the remaining people in the Donbass
I’M GLAD THAT YOU HAVE POINTED THIS OUT! WELL DONE!
AND NOTEWORTHY IS THAT THE WASHINGTON D.C. ZIONISTS (especially J3w3$$ Victoria Nuland) WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THREATENING RUSSIA’S SECURITY BEGINNING IN 2014.
THANK GOD PUTIN HAS ACTED TO STOP THE SPREAD OF TALMUDIC NOAHIDE LAW IN THE REGION- THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED IN 1917-1990 IT RESULTED IN 60+ MILLION RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS BEING MURDERED BY THE J3WI$H BOLSHEVIK COMMUNISTS!
But- we never hear about this in the media…

The war is ending soon, Pres Putin? It certainly doesn’t look like it. Russia is going to need to toughen up and end the Kiev regime by force or this kind of revolting behaviour, will only continue.
