This opinion was expressed on Espreso TV by military expert Valeriy Ryabykh, Director of Development at the media and consulting company Defense Express.“Regarding Putin’s threats, the latest argument was the Oreshnik, which the Kremlin used in an information operation — allegedly deploying it in Belarus. However, no one has actually seen these systems, and even if they were deployed in Belarus, it would have no military significance, only informational value. For example, to strike European targets with medium-range Oreshnik missiles, there’s no need to place them in Belarus at all,” Ryabykh explained.According to him, Tomahawk missiles could indeed be provided to Ukraine, and Russia will then figure out how to react.“Russia may respond to the Tomahawks much as it did to Finland’s accession to NATO — claiming it’s not opposed and therefore accepts it. The same will happen with the Tomahawks, and later with the recognition of Russia’s defeat in the war against Ukraine. The Russians will eventually adjust their rhetoric, but for now, they must rely on what still works for them — the ‘wunderwaffe’ narrative and other show-offs, as Putin himself once called them, in order to sustain their dialogue with the world. However, we can already see that the global community is paying less and less attention to what the Kremlin or Putin personally say,” Ryabykh added.On October 6, Donald Trump announced that he had allegedly decided to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. On October 10, Vladimir Putin commented on the Tomahawk issue, dismissing Zelenskyy’s statements about possible strikes on Moscow as “posturing.”
