Nuclear exercises
Russian military forces, under the directive of dictator Vladimir Putin, recently began preparations for nuclear exercises. As explained by the terrorist state, this step is in response to alleged "provocations" from the West.
According to a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence, Andrii Yusov, the Russian Federation is rattling its nuclear arsenal, claiming that it possesses it, hence its nuclear threats are nothing new.
