The Russian president used the military alliance\u2019s annual meeting to clarify crucial points about the current standoff with Ukraine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed key military and political issues to allies during his speech at the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit in Astana, Kazakhstan, on Thursday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The CSTO military alliance comprises Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. Putin\u2019s remarks provide new insights into Russia\u2019s military strategies and objectives, particularly regarding Ukraine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are the key takeaways from his address:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ukraine has launched attacks on Moscow and St. Petersburg\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Putin stated that Kiev has \u201crepeatedly attempted\u201d<\/em> to strike Russia\u2019s two largest cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, and pointed to Russia\u2019s justification for retaliatory military actions. He warned that such attacks by Ukraine would only further escalate the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Decision-making centers\u2019 in Kiev could become targets for Oreshnik strikes\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Putin indicated that Russia would hit key Ukrainian strategic operational centers using its new hypersonic Oreshnik missile system, if necessary. \u201cMilitary facilities, defense industry enterprises, and decision-making centers in Kiev may become targets for strikes. These will be selected based on the nature of the threats posed by Ukraine to Russia,\u201d<\/em> he said.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Putin, the Oreshnik missile has no equivalent in the world, and its testing and deployment is a response to continued Ukrainian missile strikes on Russian territory.<\/p>\n

Russia already has hypersonic weapons ready for use\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Putin confirmed that Russia has multiple Oreshnik missile systems ready for deployment. \u201cWe have several ready-to-use products of this kind available today,\u201d<\/em> he remarked, highlighting Moscow\u2019s advanced hypersonic missile capabilities.<\/p>\n

The Russian leader described the Oreshnik system as operating at speeds of Mach 10, making it highly effective against even deeply protected targets, with its destructive power comparable to that of nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

The system is one of Russia\u2019s most advanced weapons, and many experts believe its deployment could significantly alter the balance of power in the Ukraine conflict.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Russia has a significant missile production advantage over NATO\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Putin stressed Moscow\u2019s overwhelming missile production capacity, declaring that \u201cRussia produces ten times more long-range weapons than all NATO countries combined.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He added that Russia would accelerate manufacturing in 2025, when \u201cproduction will increase by another 25-30%,\u201d<\/em> emphasizing the scale of the country\u2019s military-industrial capacity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Illegitimate\u2019 authorities in Kiev have no right to give orders to the Ukrainian armed forces\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n

In a pointed political statement, Putin declared that the Ukrainian government under Vladimir Zelensky is illegitimate due to the expiration of his presidential term last summer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe authorities in Kiev are usurpers of power,\u201d<\/em> he said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This reflects Russia\u2019s growing concerns over the legitimacy of Ukraine\u2019s government and leadership. \u201cFrom a legal point of view, the Ukrainian authorities no longer have the right to command the armed forces,\u201d<\/em> Putin stated.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zelensky has refused to hold fresh elections. An opinion poll commissioned last week by the American Political Services international consulting firm showed that only 16% of Ukrainians would vote for him in a fresh contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
