Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, just warned that Russia can turn western Ukraine into “dust.”
December 4 (King World News) – Gerald Celente: Russian President Vladimir Putin last week warned that Moscow has escalation capabilities in Ukraine and its next targets could be a wide range of military facilities and decision-making centers in Kyiv that Moscow could “turn to dust.”
Putin’s comments came about a week after Russia successfully fired its hypersonic Oreshnik missile that Western analysts called a “game-changer.”
Putin said his new batch of missiles have no peer and can turn targets across Ukraine to dust. The Financial Times noted that Putin told reporters that his Ministry of Defense is in the process of selecting potential targets for these missiles.
Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, told reporters that the main purpose of last week’s hypersonic attack in Dnipro was to send a message to the West after approving long-range missile strikes for Ukraine. Putin has maintained the position that the long-range approval will not change the outcome on the battlefield.
Putin has spoken about the potency of the Oreshnik and noted how his claim that it can turn targets into dust is not hyperbole. He said the temperature of the “striking elements” could reach 4,000 degrees.
“Everything at its epicenter of the blast disintegrates into fractions and elementary particles. Essentially, it turns to dust,” he said…

Aleksey Zhuravlyov, a senior Russian MP, said the missile could target Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office where he was “hiding in a bunker during the first days [of the conflict],” RT reported.
“I’m curious whether the Oreshnik can destroy this impenetrable bunker,” he said.
Zhuravlyov also said Moscow could strike “logistics hubs for Western weapons in Lviv Region, the Yavorov Military Base, where Western mercenaries are being trained, the bridges across the Dnieper used to transport equipment to the front line.”
Russia has continued to have the initiative on the battlefield and has taken at least 10 villages in the last 10 days, according to The New York Times.
The paper noted that Andrii Biletskyi, a top Ukrainian commander, told a Ukrainian outlet last week that conditions on the ground are the worst they’ve been since the war broke out.
Putin seems to be preparing for a long war in Ukraine and last week signed a military budget of over $145 billion—an increase of 28.5 percent compared to 2024, according to the Associated Press. The funding will cost Russians more than it’s spending on health care, social policy, and education combined, according to Euronews.

It’s worth noting that the West has intensified its propaganda campaign to convince Donald Trump to keep the “support” for Ukraine going. (Judging by his choices for top staff positions in his White House, the convincing should not be too challenging.)
Richard Moore, the head of the British spy services, and Nicolas Lerner, his French counterpart, warned at a conference last week that a Russian victory in Ukraine would be a serious loss and put European and U.S. security at risk of a resurgent Russia.
“If Putin is allowed to succeed in reducing Ukraine to a vassal state, he will not stop there. Our security—British, French, European, and transatlantic—would be jeopardized,” he said, according to the FT.
Moore insisted that the cost of supporting Ukraine is a much better deal for the West compared to the cost of abandoning the country.
“China would weigh the implications, North Korea would be emboldened, and Iran would become still more dangerous,” he said.
Zelensky said in an interview on Friday that he wants NATO to extend a membership offer that would protect the land that is still under his control, and then—with the backing of the alliance—“negotiate” with Russia for the 20 percent of the country now in its control.
The Times said it was one of Zelensky’s “clearest concessions that the war could end without a quick return of occupied land, a sensitive issue in Ukraine.”
TRENDPOST:
Wanting to keep ramping up the Ukraine War, on Monday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz met with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and promised that Germany would give them $680 million in military aid to keep the war going.
Scholz, the unpopular Chancellor whose poll ratings are in the toilet with a 22 percent approval rating, posted on X that,
“I travelled to Kyiv tonight: by train through a country that has been defending itself against the Russian war of aggression for over 1,000 days.
“I would like to make it clear here on the ground that Germany will remain Ukraine’s strongest supporter in Europe.
“Ukraine can rely on Germany—we say what we do. And we do what we say.”
