The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been going on for more than a month and Moscow’s invasion does not seem to be stopping. Russia has launched its nuclear submarines into the sea hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin put its nuclear forces on special alert. Due to this the possibility of nuclear war has also increased.
Russian nuclear submarines can carry 16 ballistic missiles
The Russian nuclear submarines are capable of carrying 16 ballistic missiles simultaneously. These submarines have been landed in the North Atlantic Ocean. Regarding this move of Russia, experts believe that the Kremlin seems to go to any extent to strengthen its position. Experts watching Russia say that Putin has been making nuclear threats for an aggressive strategy. He did the same during the Crimean War of 2014.
Will Russia use nuclear weapons?
According to reports, Russia has put its nuclear weapons on high alert since March 3. On March 22, Moscow threatened NATO, saying that the Kremlin would not miss a nuclear attack if NATO crossed the border. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would use nuclear weapons if it faced an “existential threat”.
The Times report states that these nuclear submarines have soon returned to Russia and since then activities are normal. But since Russia’s move, Western intelligence agencies are keeping a close watch on the Kremlin’s nuclear weapons stockpile.
Russia wants the liberation of the Donbass
Colonel General Sergei Rudskoy, First Deputy Chief of the General Staff of Russia, told the media that in general all the main tasks of the first phase of the operation have been completed. So now we are concentrating on trying to achieve the main goal. And this main goal is the Liberation of the Donbass.
