Russia announces exercises to improve the readiness of its nuclear forces and accuses the West of "provocation" over Ukraine

The terrorist country Russia has once again announced military exercises of its non-strategic nuclear forces. The Russian Defense Ministry said that the events are being held on behalf of dictator Vladimir Putin to increase the readiness of nuclear weapons to perform combat missions.

The terrorist agency also noted that the exercises will be conducted by units of the Southern Military District with the involvement of aviation and the Navy. This was stated by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The occupiers said that during the exercise they would carry out a set of measures to practise the preparation and use of non-strategic nuclear weapons. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that these exercises are aimed at maintaining the readiness of personnel and equipment to respond to "provocative statements and threats" by certain Western officials against the Russian Federation.

However, in reality, it is the terrorist state of Russia that regularly organizes nuclear blackmail of the entire civilized world. In particular, in the first days of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, dictator Putin announced the transfer of nuclear forces to a "special mode" of combat alert, and six months later threatened to use "all available means" to "protect" the occupied territories of Ukraine.

One of the last portions of Russia's nuclear threats came in early 2024. Back then, the Kremlin dictator said that if European troops appeared in Ukraine, Russia could use nuclear weapons.

Moreover, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev also linked the current exercises to the West's intention to send troops to Ukraine. Following the dictator, the Ukrainophobe revealed that Russia could use nuclear weapons if European troops enter Ukraine.

"There is some kind of total degradation of the ruling class in the West. This class does not want to logically connect elementary things. Sending their troops to the territory of Ukraine will entail their countries' direct entry into a war, which we will have to respond to," Medvedev said.

In his turn, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the exercises of non-strategic nuclear forces are being held to blackmail the West. According to him, the exercises are related to the West's statements about its readiness to send troops to Ukraine.

Peskov also complained that the West is allegedly provoking an unprecedented round of tension in Ukraine, which requires retaliatory measures from Russia.

As a reminder, Russia is actively developing an "indiscriminate" anti-satellite nuclear device for use in space. It will threaten all satellites of all countries and companies in the world.

Earlier it became known that Russia blocked the UN Security Council resolution on the prohibition of nuclear weapons in space. In fact, the world agreed on this many decades ago, when more than 130 countries signed the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which prohibits any anti-satellite systems and nuclear weapons in space.
