Dmitri Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, justified the nighttime attack on Ukraine with the hypersonic missile Oreshnik, stating that Russia must act against "dangerous psychopaths." He compared the adversaries to patients who require harsh interventions, suggesting that violence is inevitable in the context of international chaos. The Oreshnik missile, which is said to be impossible to intercept, can carry nuclear warheads, although inert warheads were used in this attack.
