Russia may launch another Oreshnik missile in the coming days, but this will not br a game changer on the battlefield, Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said during a press briefing on December 11.

"It's possible that Russia could do it in the coming days. I don't have an exact date for you. I think it's important to note that, should Russia choose to launch this type of missile, it's not going to be a game changer on the battlefield. It's just yet another attempt to inflict harm and casualties in Ukraine. You know, we've seen this before. They're trying to use every weapon that they have in their arsenal to intimidate Ukraine. But of course Ukraine, with the United States, other partners around the world, continues to have our support as they, you know, fight every single day on the battlefield," Singh said.

Asked whether Ukraine had asked for additional defenses in response to these Russian threats, the Pentagon deputy spokeswoman responded that "Ukraine's priority defenses remain — one of them remains air defenses. And that's something that we continue to flow to Ukraine, whether it be through USAI packages like you saw the Secretary announce at the Reagan Defense Forum, nearly $1 billion in security assistance."
