What is Russia's 'Oreshnik' missile?

Russia said it'd struck Ukraine with new hypersonic missile 'Oreshnik' in response to Kyiv's use of US and British missiles against Russia. The US described 'Oreshnik' as a variant of Russia's RS-26 ballistic missile, which is a 40-tonne, solid-fuelled missile. According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Oreshnik can't be intercepted as it travels at 10 times the speed of sound.
