Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday (May 24, 2026) that Russia used the powerful hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile during a mass drone and missile attack on Kyiv on Sunday (May 24), which killed at least two people, marking the third time the weapon has been used in the four-year war.
The Oreshnik, which is capable of carrying nuclear or conventional warheads, struck the city of Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region, Mr. Zelenskyy said in a post on Telegram. The target was not immediately clear.
Russia first used the multiple-warhead Oreshnik on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro in November 2024. It was used a second time in January in the western Lviv region.
