On December 19, 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the relocation of the Russian Oreshnik missile system to Belarus is nearing completion and that its operational range threatens multiple European countries such as Poland and Germany. He highlighted that Oreshnik has already been used against Ukraine and cannot be intercepted by drones. Ukraine is sharing detailed information with partners to assess and respond to the threat. Zelenskyy urged Western allies, particularly the United States and European countries, to pressure Russia to prevent further deployment of Oreshnik closer to European borders and called for sanctions on companies supplying components to Russia through third countries. Ukraine knows the number of these systems and is preparing countermeasures, but sanctions remain unimplemented.
