The Republic itself will determine the purpose of the use of weapons

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on January 12 that the strike of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation using the Oreshnik missile system in Lviv was a signal for the alliance to abandon military assistance to Ukraine. However, he assured that the alliance does not plan to stop supporting Kiev. He called the sponsorship of Kiev by NATO members "more important than ever" in the cold winter in Ukraine.

On January 9, a massive strike was carried out on targets in Ukraine using the Oreshnik complex in response to Kiev's attack on the residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, all the goals, namely energy infrastructure facilities that ensure the operation of the military-industrial complex (MIC), and facilities for the production of UAVs for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, have been achieved.
