Russia has launched major nuclear exercises involving missile tests, strategic weapons, and joint drills with Belarus. President Vladimir Putin said nuclear weapons would be used only as a last resort, while Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko pledged full support for Moscow but ruled out direct entry into the Ukraine war. The drills include intercontinental, hypersonic, and submarine-launched missiles as tensions with NATO continue to rise. With the Ukraine conflict in its fifth year, Moscow’s latest nuclear signal is aimed at deterrence, but it is also raising global concerns about escalation.
