Vladimir Putin has launched extensive nuclear war games involving 64,000 troops, raising fears of a significant escalation in military tensions. The drills, conducted in collaboration with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, showcase Russia's nuclear arsenal, including the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons designed for battlefield use. The Russian Defence Ministry confirmed that these exercises are aimed at preparing for the use of nuclear forces amid perceived threats of aggression. The military maneuvers feature a staggering array of military assets, including over 200 missile launchers, 140 aircraft, 73 surface warships, and 13 submarines. Experts warn that these actions could have profound implications for international politics, as Putin's recent nuclear policy changes lower the threshold for nuclear engagement. Meanwhile, NATO has responded firmly, with Secretary General Mark Rutte stating that any nuclear weapon use would provoke a 'devastating' response. As the conflict continues, analysts suggest that Putin's desperation is increasing, with his narrative of a 'special military operation' losing credibility amid ongoing military setbacks in Ukraine.
