28. Speaking at the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit in Astana, Putin said that Russia's military leadership is now "choosing targets" in Ukraine to hit them with Oreshnik."These could be military facilities, defense and industrial enterprises, or decision-making centers in Kyiv," Putin said.Russia first launched Oreshnik in an attack against the city of Dnipro on Nov. 21. Shortly thereafter, Putin claimed that "there are currently no ways of countering this weapon," which later was refuted by President Volodymyr Zelensky. Russia's Oreshnik attack followed Kyiv's first successful strike on a military target on Russian soil using U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles. The Russian Defense Ministry admitted more such strikes against targets in Kursk and Bryansk oblasts had followed later. According to Putin, Russia has begun mass production of Oreshnik.
