Russia Pre-Notified US of Missile Strike on Dnipro: Calculated Risk or Cowardice?
Russia launched an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), designated “Oreshnik,” targeting Dnipro, Ukraine. Thirty minutes prior, Russia provided the U.S. with advance notification via nuclear risk reduction channels. This test, confirmed by both U.S. and Russian officials, followed prior U.S. warnings to Ukraine and allies of a potential Russian missile test. The attack, which included other missile types, occurred amidst a nationwide air raid alert.
