The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the Russian General Staff, on Putin’s instructions, will soon conduct training “to increase the readiness of non-strategic nuclear forces to carry out combat missions.”
Washington considers the Kremlin’s rhetoric about military exercises with tactical nuclear weapons irresponsible. US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said this on Monday, May 6, Ukrinform writes.
He noted that Russia continued to mention nuclear weapons throughout the war.
“Russia’s rhetoric – nuclear rhetoric – has been reckless and irresponsible throughout the conflict,” he said.
At the same time, according to Miller, the United States sees no reason to change the reciprocal position of its own nuclear forces, because “it does not see any signs that Russia is preparing to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.”
We remind you that Russia will conduct exercises with nuclear weapons. This is a kind of response to “provocative statements and threats by some Western officials against the Russian Federation,” the Russian Ministry of Defense said.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Western countries seem to be “complicating” the situation in Ukraine and that this requires a response from the Russian Federation.
