The NATO-Ukraine Council convened at a meeting on Nov. 26 in response to Russia's use of the new intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), "Oreshnik," the NATO alliance said in a news release. According to the release,

NATO members on Tuesday reaffirmed their support for Ukraine during talks with the country's officials held in response to Russia's launch of an experimental intermediate-range ballistic missile last week.

In a stark warning to the West, President Putin said the attack with the intermediate-range Oreshnik missile was in retaliation for Kyiv’s use of U.S. and British longer-range missiles.
