NATO humiliated, billions wasted: Zelensky confesses drones are no match for Russia's Oreshnik

Ukraine’s president made a blunt admission in Warsaw as tensions rose over Russia’s newest missile deployment. Standing beside Poland’s leader, Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged that Ukrainian drones cannot intercept Moscow’s Oreshnik system. He warned that the weapon’s relocation to Belarus had already been flagged to Western allies and renewed calls for tougher European sanctions targeting supply chains. The comments came as Minsk confirmed the missile is already on combat duty, and as Moscow framed Oreshnik as a response to NATO-backed escalation. The development adds fresh pressure on Europe as the battlefield and deterrence calculus shift.
