Russian military operation in Ukraine #63

"Today, the Russian Defense Ministry officially confirmed the fact that on November 27, six days after the Oreshnik missile struck an industrial facility in Dnepropetrovsk, Chief of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov spoke on the phone with his American counterpart, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces Charles Brown. The conversation was initiated by the Russian side.

According to the defense ministry, during the conversation, Gerasimov informed the US Armed Forces representative about the upcoming exercises of the Russian Navy and Aerospace Forces in the eastern Mediterranean, which will include practical shooting and the launch of high-precision missiles.

As indicated by the Defense Ministry, information about the shooting was passed on to the American side to prevent potential incidents with American ships and NATO forces located near the exercise area.

At the same time, Western media outlets report that one of the main topics of discussion between the military leaders was a new type of Russian weapon — the Oreshnik missile.

KP observers note that after the talks between Gerasimov and Brown, by an amazing coincidence, the Ukrainian Armed Forces stopped missile attacks using NATO military arsenal.

“Since then, there has not been a single ATACMS strike on Russia. Have the White House and the Pentagon paused to think? Have they heeded Gerasimov’s threatening warning? Are they calculating where else the Russian Oreshniks (and not only them!) might fly, if everyone knows that the ATACMS missiles are not launched by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but, strictly speaking, by the Americans themselves,” the publication notes."

And yet Oreshnik has magical power. For over a week, not a single shelling of Russian territory from Western weapons.
