Under the direction of President Putin, the Russian military conducted military exercises using nuclear forces, including missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
Exercises are held regularly, but with tensions continuing over the situation in Ukraine, the West seems to be paying close attention to the movements of the Russian military.
The Russian presidential office announced on the 26th that the Russian military has started military exercises using nuclear weapons such as missiles that can carry nuclear weapons.
The exercises are held regularly, and President Putin took command in an online format from the capital Moscow.
In addition to launching an intercontinental ballistic missile "Yars" from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in northern Russia, training for launching a ballistic missile "Sineva" from a submarine in the Barents Sea in the northwest is said to have been carried out.
The Russian president's office emphasized that all the tasks had been achieved, saying that it was an exercise to strengthen strategic deterrence.
On the 25th, the U.S. government said it had received advance notice from Russia that it would conduct nuclear military exercises, which it said would reduce the risk of an accidental clash between the U.S. and Russia.
On the other hand, Russia has recently unilaterally claimed that Ukraine may use so-called "dirty bombs" that scatter radioactive materials, and President Putin also mentioned at an online meeting on the 26th.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Shoigu also spoke by phone with China's Defense Minister Wei Fenghe and India's Defense Minister Singh on Monday, raising concerns about the possible use of "dirty bombs" by Ukraine. That's it.
Ukraine, on the other hand, denies that the Putin administration fabricated information.
Western countries have also criticized it as false information without evidence.
Amid ongoing tensions over the situation in Ukraine, the West seems to be paying close attention to the Russian military's nuclear force movement and its intention to continue one-sided information dissemination regarding "dirty bombs."
