Nov 28 (Reuters) - Russia may use its new Oreshnik hypersonic missile to attack "decision-making centres" in Kyiv in response to Ukraine's firing of Western missiles at Russian territory, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday. Russia has not so far struck Ukrainian government ministries, parliament or the president's office in the course of the 33-month war. Kyiv is heavily protected by air defences, but Putin says the Oreshnik, which Russia fired for the first time at a Ukrainian city last week, is incapable of being intercepted - a claim greeted with scepticism by Western experts.
"Of course, we will respond to the ongoing strikes on Russian territory with long-range Western-made missiles, as has already been said, including by possibly continuing to test the Oreshnik in combat conditions, as was done on November 21," Putin told leaders of a security alliance of ex-Soviet countries at a summit in Kazakhstan. "At present, the Ministry of Defence and the General Staff are selecting targets to hit on Ukrainian territory. These could be military facilities, defence and industrial enterprises, or decision-making centres in Kyiv," he said.

This very day they are debating lowering the draft age to eighteen at the insistence of the warmongers in DC. To protect their grift machine, Z and his gang will sacrifice the youth of Ukraine.
Stop massacring the poor untrained Uke conscripts in Donbas. Hit the head of this monster in Kiev, kill it and end this madness.
Move to Russia.
What country won’t draft 18 year olds in an all out war?
Mandatory draft age in Russia is already 18!
And ty Russia for giving NATO a chance to develop a defense to your new missile.
Well said. Some are hyperbolic about a draft age of 18. I’m shocked Ukraine didn’t make this change 2 years ago. Instead they have been relying on the elder generation for their defense.
If Putin strikes at the political leadership in Ukraine, he invites similar strikes against Russia.
You’d send your 18 year son to certain death in a LOST WAR so the human scum responsible for slaughtering 600,000 Uke men already can continue to roll in their blood money? It’s obvious you’d murder every kid in Ukraine in the NATO “all out war” but your cowardly, globohomo stooge ass will sit on that fat ass and play tough guy with your fingertips. What a miserable putz. The scum you carry water for in DC are getting filthy rich. You’re only in it to watch and get your enjoys. Detestable, loathsome attitude about mass innocent deaths you have.
American enlistment age is 17.
What are you ranting about?
The RUSSIAN conscription age is EIGHTEEN!
The Ukraine draft age is not.
You donkey.
But certain people here went on and on that Ukraine was conscripting children from orphanages.
And I have to be called names by these idiots because I pointed out some facts.
Immoral twisted name calling liars like you make me sick.
So now I want to send my son to his death because I pointed out RUSSIA has a much younger draft age than Ukraine?
You’re out there pal.
Certain posters have been that way from the outset of the invasion. I just avoid them. It’s a shame because it stifles civil conversation and debate.
Move to Ukraine you nazi cuck.
That’s because this “war” is not what you think it is.
Not interested.
But have fun calling people vile names on Thanksgiving.
Jerk.
What is with you hate filled morons.
“Certain posters have been that way from the outset of the invasion. I just avoid them. It’s a shame because it stifles civil conversation and debate.”
Right, like accusing posters who favor peace negotiation of being in favor of atrocities, or in favor of targeting civilians, or being appeasers, or traitors.
Neocon scumbags bring it out of US, moron.
You are very combative at FR. I am sure that if you were Ukrainian, you would be in the Ukrainian army fighting the Russians. Putin Packers here expected Ukraine and Ukrainian men to just roll over and play dead, when the Russians invaded in Feb 2022.
Now they're just dead and no longer playing. Did you give thanks to that at your dinner table?
Go see a shrink. You Putin packing bully boys are free to act out on Free Republic.
But in the Republican Party. My bet is 65%-70% support military aid to Ukraine. House Republicans have never blocked any Ukraine aid.
What do you think.
