Zelensky comments on Thursday, Dec. 19, followed a statement by Putin calling for a “high-tech duel” over Kyiv pitting Ukrainian air defenses against Russia’s recently developed Oreshnike intermediate-range ballistic missiles.
In his annual televised press conference, Putin claimed that the Russian Oreshnik missile could be stopped simply by air defense.
“Let’s call it a high-tech duel of the 21st century. Let them determine some site to hit, let’s say in Kyiv, concentrate all their air defenses there, and we will strike there with the Oreshnik and see what happens,” Putin said. “It’s interesting.”
At Thursday’s European Council summit in Brussels, Zelensky, the Russian autocrat, “is crazy. “
“I think Putin is very dangerous, he doesn’t care about human lives,” Zelensky said after his meeting with European heads of government. “He loves to kill. “
