Macron, EU’s Kallas condemn Russian attack on Ukraine with Oreshnik ballistic missile

On 24 May 2026, Zelensky said Russia struck Ukraine with an Oreshnik ballistic missile, which arrived near Kyiv overnight. Macron and the EU's Kallas condemned the attack, and Kallas called it 'nuclear saber-rattling'. Germany also condemned Russia's use of the missile.

Zelensky said 'they are truly mad' after the launch of the 'nuclear-capable' missile, and showed the consequences of the strike. Separately, TASS says Zelensky bemoans undersupply of US air defenses after a warning from Russia's foreign ministry, and Ukraine added employees of the attacked Starobelsk college to its Mirotvorets database.
