Russia has issued a nuclear weapon threat “to ensure security” in response to Nato strengthening its eastern flank.
Russian deputy foreign minister Mikhail Galuzin has said Russia and Belarus are constantly ready to use all available means, including nuclear weapons.
Nato yesterday announced that its Forward Land Forces (FLF) Finland, including the Alliance’s newest multinational battlegroup, led by framework nation Sweden, began operations in Finland and Sweden to support the defence of Nato’s northeastern flank.
“We remain in a constant state of readiness to employ all means, including nuclear ones, to ensure the security of the Union State,” Mr Galuzin said, referring to the political, security and economic alliance between Russia and Belarus.
His remarks come after senior Russian official Sergei Shoigu claimed that the Nato nations were working out scenarios for strikes on Belarus and Russia during military exercises.
It comes as Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine could offer low-cost interceptor drones it has deployed at home to build an inexpensive shield against Russian drone attacks, and that Kyiv could send expert teams to its European partners “at any moment.”
