It was used by Russia for the first time in November 2024. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kartapolov said he believed using the Oreshnik against Ukraine could be &ldquo;useful,&rdquo; although he added that the final decision would be up to Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine was also hit by a Russian ballistic missile and 126 drones early on Tuesday morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many drones failed to meet their targets, but there was one apparent casualty based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/03\/11\/europe\/ukraine-moscow-drone-attack-intl-hnk\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">a CNN review<\/a> of released figures. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3343391\/daily-on-defense-us-ukraine-peace-talks-rubio-saudi-arabia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>US DEMANDING UKRAINE TRADE LAND FOR PEACE, AS TALKS WITH RUBIO OPEN IN SAUDI ARABIA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When Russia hit Ukraine with massive missile and drone strikes earlier this month, President Donald Trump threatened to put new tariffs and sanctions on Moscow until a ceasefire is reached.
