The regime is bragging about using the Oreshnik, but that makes the legal issue worse, not better.
Oreshnik is an IRBM/MRV-style strategic missile. Analysts have noted that its observed accuracy is closer to what is acceptable for a nuclear delivery system, not a conventional precision strike weapon. Its reentry vehicles/submunitions appear to create an area-effect strike, not a clean hit on one military target. Reuters reported that the accuracy seen in the 2024 Dnipro strike fit nuclear-use requirements, not conventional use.
Using that kind of weapon near a dense city like Kyiv is exactly why international law bans indiscriminate attacks: if the weapon cannot reliably be limited to a specific military objective, “we targeted infrastructure” is not a legal excuse.

China bears a large share of the responsibility for Russia’s atrocities.
We should already be demanding that China pay reparations for every Russian attack, even if they will not do so.

Trump and his effeminate sidekick Vance approve of this.
They prefer democratic Putin to dictator Zelenskyy.

Ukraine needs credible long-range deterrence including weapons of mass destruction capable of striking St. Petersburg and Moscow to counter the Potaohead orc leader and the Russian regime’s aggression. Russians living abroad should inform their compatriots back home about the collective responsibility they indirectly share for the consequences of their government’s actions.

Every time Ukraine embarrases the RU military hierarchy enough, this is how they respond because they are not capable of striking Ukrainian military targets in any meaningful way.

Problem is that Ukraine is held to the high standard of not committing war crimes or loosing much needed support. It’s asymmetric and it would make putins possition much weaker if Ukraine could respond similar. I don’t believe that we have to wait very long for Ukraine to develop cheap ballistic missiles of their own.

It’s a weapon of terror, costs a fortune for the Russians, and its accuracy is too low to attack high value targets
