Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered to put the Russian army’s deterrence forces on special combat duty.

The deterrence forces include strategic nuclear forces, among them the Strategic Missile Forces.

The reason for this decision was cited as “aggressive statements” made by top NATO officials against Russia.

Representatives of Western countries sharply criticized the Russian armed invasion of Ukraine, imposed sanctions against Russia and announced an increase in arms supplies to Ukraine.
