In a show of military strength, Russia has initiated extensive nuclear drills involving around 64,000 troops, as well as air and naval forces. These exercises coincide with escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, particularly amidst an increase in drone attacks on Moscow. Belarus has also joined in on these drills, dismissing concerns from Kyiv and emphasizing its cooperation with Russian forces. The joint exercises, described as the largest in history, are being conducted under the pretext of preparing for potential aggression threats. As President Putin visits China, these military maneuvers have sparked fears of possible escalation, leading to significant international scrutiny.
