Putin's emphasis on nuclear power

The growing support of Western countries to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia have forced Putin to show his power.

Putin believes that Russia's strength as a nuclear power amid the current geopolitical tensions will keep it safe from any potential threat.

President Putin said, "Given the growing geopolitical tensions and emerging new threats, it is imperative for us to have modern strategic forces." Along with this, he reiterated the use of nuclear weapons to be considered only as a "last resort".

Russian Defense Ministry's response

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the exercise conducted on Tuesday involved testing of the Yars intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) from the Plesetsk launch pad at the Kura testing range in Kamchatka. Also, missiles were tested by nuclear submarines named Novomoskovsk and Knyaz Oleg. Additionally, Russia's nuclear-capable Tu-95 strategic bombers practiced long-range cruise missiles. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that all the missiles in this testing were successful in hitting their designated targets.

Putin's warning to Western countries

President Putin recently gave a clear warning to the US and NATO countries that if Ukraine uses weapons provided by Western countries against Russia, it will be taken as a declaration of war by NATO against Russia. This warning by Putin has given a clear message to the international world that Russia is fully prepared to face any threat and is capable of giving a befitting reply to those who challenge its existence.

Conclusion

With the growing tension between Russia and Ukraine, this display of nuclear power not only demonstrates Russia's military strength, but also gives a message to the world that it is ready to deal with any kind of threat.
