Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the nuclear force to be put on alert in a televised conversation with top officials.
The Russian leader has ordered his country’s armed forces to prepare for strategic deterrence as its nuclear forces are put on “special alert”. In a conversation with Defense Minister Shoigu and Chief of Staff Gerasimov, the President cited aggressive statements from the West as the reason for this step.
“You can see that Western countries are not only taking unfriendly measures against our country in the economic sphere. I’m talking about unlawful sanctions, as everyone knows very well. But top officials of leading NATO countries are also making aggressive statements about our country. That’s why I believe it is wise that the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff to put the Russian Army’s deterrent forces on special alert.”
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu confirmed with a “yes” and Chief of Staff Valeri Gerasimov added: “We’ll do that”.
