**NATO-Ukraine Council Meets to Discuss Russia‘s New Missile**
The NATO-Ukraine Council held an emergency meeting on November 26. This came after Russia used a new type of missile called the “Oreshnik” in an attack on Ukraine.
Senior Ukrainian military officials spoke with NATO members via video link during the meeting, which took place at NATO headquarters in Brussels. The meeting was attended by ambassadors from various countries.
Russia launched the Oreshnik missile for the first time on November 21, when it attacked Dnipro. Later, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Ukraine had no way to counter this type of missile.
However, Ukrainian President Zelensky disagreed with Putin’s statement. He said that experts were analyzing the wreckage of the missile and working with allies to come up with a response.
