Putin said this about Kinzhal in 2018:

"This enables the missile to penetrate through all existing and projected air defense systems and deliver a nuclear or conventional warhead over a distance in excess of two thousand kilometers" - [1]

Either he overhyped it, or he was misled.

I agree Putin said false things about the Khinzal, I don't think anybody is disputing this... Russians are inflating and lying about their own capabilities, yes.
