Russia's Oreshnik strike is grave threat to European security, Kyiv says

KYIV, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Russia's overnight Oreshnik missile strike close to the European Union and NATO border is a 'grave threat' to European security, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on Friday, calling on partners to increase pressure on Moscow.

Sybiha said that Kyiv was informing the United States, European partners, and other countries about the details of the strike through diplomatic channels.

"(Russia President Vladimir) Putin uses an IRBM (intermediate-range ballistic missile) near EU and NATO border in response to his own hallucinations — this is truly a global threat. And it demands global responses," he said.
