Western equipment in Oreshnik

"Russian producers of Oreshnik, which Putin boasts about, use Western equipment," Kovalenko said.

According to him, Putin is scaring the world with a missile that he cannot produce without the West.

To recap, Taras Chmut, head of the Come Back Alive charity foundation, said that Oreshnik cannot become a "bargaining chip" in negotiations with Ukraine.

Also, one of the parts of the missile that the occupiers fired at Ukraine had a serial number and date of manufacture - April 12, 2017. This indicates that the Oreshnik was assembled around 2017-2018.
