Russian leader Vladimir Putin reportedly directed military exercises simulating a nuclear strike in response to a nuclear attack as war rages in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin oversaw military drills Wednesday, including the simulation of a nuclear strike, more than 20 months since Moscow's forces invaded Ukraine.
There are widespread concerns that Russia could move to resume nuclear tests to try to discourage the West from continuing to offer military support to Ukraine. Many Russian hawks have spoken in favor of a resumption of the tests.
We aren't ready for it because the return to a dialogue on strategic stability... as it was conducted in the past is impossible until the U.S. revises its deeply hostile policy course in relation to Russia,' Ryabkov told reporters in comments carried by Russian news agencies. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
