Russian military propaganda has again raised the topic of a strike on Ukraine with a ballistic missile called the Oreshnik. But Ukrainian intelligence always warns about this, said the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, RBC-Ukraine writes.

"You saw that there was no (information) from the GUR MO (Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, - ed.). Calm down, when something happens, you always, unfortunately, see a warning from us," he told reporters about the possible launch.

The Russians allegedly used the missile they called the Oreshnik once - to strike the Dnieper on November 21. This topic became the main one for Russian propaganda and became the most important event for the people of the Russian Federation. Then the missile was forgotten for several months - until May.

The Oreshnik missile is a Russian medium-range ballistic missile, which is probably a modification of the RS-26 Rubizh. Flight range: up to 3,000 km, length: 23 meters, diameter: about 3 meters, weight: over 10 tons, warhead: six-block with individual guidance.

Recall that the US Federal Aviation Administration received a warning from Russia about the closure of the airspace over the Kapustin Yar missile range. The flight ban was in effect on May 12 and 13.

Similar reports were also published in December: December 11-13 and 16-21. And already on December 13, the Russian Federation carried out a massive missile strike on Ukraine using various types of missiles - ballistic, cruise and hypersonic.
