Russia's nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile system has entered active service, with troops holding a ceremony in Belarus where the missiles are deployed. The Ministry of Defence confirmed the development, though details on the number of missiles remain undisclosed. President Putin stated the system would enter combat duty this month, warning Moscow would seek to extend gains if peace talks fail. This deployment occurs amid ongoing Ukraine peace negotiations, with US President Trump noting Kyiv and Moscow are closer to a settlement, though key issues persist.
