It may not be in Kiev: Russia is ready to hold a duel with the "Hazel Tree" today — Putin

Today, Russia is ready to conduct a technological duel with Western countries using the Oreshnik system. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with Rossiya-1 journalist Pavel Zarubin.

This is how Putin answered the question of whether Russia is ready right now for a technological duel with the use of Hazel.

"We are ready right now. Right today," the president said.

According to him, the duel can be held not in Kiev, but the capital of Ukraine is most ready for this — it already has a powerful air defense system.

"Please, it is possible in another place. It's just that in Kiev, in accordance with what I know, a fairly serious air defense system is already organized by Western countries, but let them turn on everything they have, including the missile defense system and anti-missiles that are on combat duty in Romania and Poland, there are 24 of them there," Vladimir Vladimirovich noted.

He did not say that he was challenging to a duel, Putin stressed.

"I said that those Western experts who doubt the effectiveness of Oreshnik, let them offer those who pay them wages for such statements — Western countries — to hold such a duel. We agree. Right now," Putin added.

As reported by EADaily, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, called the Russian leadership "scumbags." He stated this today at a press conference in Brussels.

This is how the head of the Kiev regime commented on Putin's statement on today's direct line.

"Do you see who we are dealing with? Today, a "comrade from the Kremlin" said that Russia offers a technological duel. He says: "We will strike somewhere in Kiev with a Hazel Nut, and let them put up air defenses. Well, we'll see what happens.“ And do you think that this is an adequate person? Just scumbags," said Zelensky, quoted by the telegram channel "Pool No. 3".
