Ukraine has developed a new missile that could strike Moscow and potentially kill Russian President Vladimir Putin as Kyiv looks to bolster its forces in the war against Russia.

Ukraine has developed a missile capable of striking Russian President Vladimir Putin directly, as the country strengthens its forces in the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Yehor Chernev, the chairman of Ukraine’s delegation to NATO, recently revealed that the Hrim-2 missile is almost ready for deployment.

The weapon has the capacity to reach Moscow, theoretically enabling Ukraine to target Putin directly.

Chernev stated: “Believe me, there will soon be concrete results that not only Ukraine but also the Russian Federation will see.”

The Hrim-2 is a ballistic missile equipped with a 1,100-pound warhead and has a range of 300 miles, marking a significant upgrade to Ukraine’s existing missile arsenal.

The missile was manufactured by Dnirpo-based company KB Pivdenne.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the successful test of the Hrim-2 in August.

In addition to this, Ukraine has also agreed to a deal with Belgian weapons manufacturer The Thales Belgium to supply anti-drone missiles.

Belgian Strategic Industries Minister Herman Smetanin said: “This cooperation will strengthen the Ukrainian defense industry and the protection of critical infrastructure from enemy drones.”

This comes as Russia has escalated its drone strikes on Ukraine in recent months.

Kyiv reported that Russia launched over 2,000 drone strikes on the country in October, surpassing the previous record of 700 in September.

Ukraine continues to push for NATO membership as a means of safeguarding itself against Russian aggression.

Last month, President Zelensky emphasized Ukraine’s need for NATO membership, pointing out: “Which of these major nuclear powers suffered? All of them? No. Ukraine [did].

“Who gave up nuclear weapons? All of them? No. Ukraine. Who is fighting today? Ukraine.”

He argued of the necessity for security guarantees, stating “Either Ukraine will have nuclear weapons and that will be our protection or we should have some sort of alliance. Apart from NATO, today we do not know any effective alliances.”

Highlighting the safety of NATO countries, he added: “NATO countries are not at war. People are all alive in NATO countries. And thank God. That is why we choose NATO. Not nuclear weapons
