For now, it is a PR thing. However, even the potential deployment of the Oreshnik there does not pose more threats to Ukraine or NATO, at least because there is no difference whether it will be launched from Kapustin Yar (a launch site in Russia \u2013 ed.) or from Belarus. All this talk about shorter approach times is a boogeyman story for civilians in the West and Ukraine,\u201d Kovalenko said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stressed that \u201cthis will play no role for missile defense systems\u201d and recalled that \u201cjust like it was with the Kinzhal, which was shot down by the Patriot system for the first time in history last year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut as for the deployment, a number of technical issues would have to be resolved. Russia\u2019s main goal is to raise stakes by spreading fear in the West. Nuclear weapons in Belarus didn\u2019t work in terms of information influence, and now the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrinform.net\/rubric-ato\/3932633-uk-intelligence-analyzes-purpose-of-russias-launch-of-oreshnik-missile.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oreshnik\u00a0<\/a>is being used as a bubble in response to Ukraine having been allowed to use Western long-range weapons against targets inside Russia. So the deployment in Belarus will be promoted purely in terms of PR under the narrative of \u2018Oreshnik approaching NATO borders\u2019 in order to shift public sentiment in Europe,\u201d the head of the disinformation watchdog believes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As reported earlier, after signing the agreement on security guarantees between the &#8220;Union State of Belarus&#8221; and Russia in Minsk, Alexander Lukashenko asked Vladimir Putin to deploy new weapons systems in Belarus, including the Oreshnik ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/trump-says-formulating-concept-to-end-russia-s-war-against-ukraine\/\">Trump says \u201cformulating concept\u201d to end Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1057353,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36415],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1057352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Oreshnik missiles in Belarus yet another \u201cboogeyman story\u201d - disinfo watchdog - Freedom<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/oreshnik-missiles-in-belarus-yet-another-boogeyman-story-disinfo-watchdog\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Oreshnik missiles in Belarus yet another \u201cboogeyman story\u201d - disinfo watchdog - Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/oreshnik-missiles-in-belarus-yet-another-boogeyman-story-disinfo-watchdog\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-12-11T10:06:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/3732.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/oreshnik-missiles-in-belarus-yet-another-boogeyman-story-disinfo-watchdog\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/oreshnik-missiles-in-belarus-yet-another-boogeyman-story-disinfo-watchdog\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Danylo Shportilo\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/f4fe8d6d08deebcdee69f6671576d2d2\"},\"headline\":\"Oreshnik missiles in Belarus yet another \u201cboogeyman story\u201d &#8211;
