Ukrainian experts are examining debris from a new Russian ballistic missile, the Oreshnik, which Russia claims is difficult to intercept. This missile reportedly reached speeds over 13,000 km/h and has a range of up to 5,500 km. This incident marks the first discovery of such missile remnants in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy described the missile's use as a significant escalation and called for a response from allies. In response to military needs, Russia has introduced a law allowing debt forgiveness for new army recruits. This measure aims to boost recruitment without a formal mobilization, following a previous mobilization that led to mass emigration.
