Russia’s Medvedev warns Europe could face ‘catastrophic damage’ from Oreshnik missile

Medvedev also commented on Vladimir Zelensky’s "resilience plan."

MOSCOW, November 24. /TASS/. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev called on Europe to halt support for Ukraine or potentially face devastating damage from Moscow’s latest intermediate-range missile the Oreshnik.

"Europe is at a loss, speculating how much damage the missile would cause with nuclear warheads, whether it can be shot down at all, and how quickly the missiles would reach the capitals of the Old World. Let me answer all three: the damage would be catastrophic; no, you cannot shoot them down using current-day systems; and it will be a matter of minutes. No, bomb shelters will not save you. The only hope is that Russia, out of the kindness of its heart, gives advanced warning about the launch.

So how about you stop supporting the war, instead," he wrote on Telegram.

Medvedev also commented on Vladimir Zelensky’s "resilience plan."

"What they really need is a 1-point plan that just says, "Stop snorting white stuff and face facts," he said. "Ukraine's parliament is full of sellouts ready and waiting to pack their bags when faced with a tough scenario."

Zelensky presented his new plan for Ukraine's internal development on November 20. It consists of 10 points that cover issues ranging from economic development to culture, but it has not been finalized yet. The full version of the plan with appendices will appear in December. After Zelensky's presentation, many parliament members started criticizing the provisions of the plan.
