On February 27, Mr. Putin raised the alarm about Russia's nuclear powers. However, it was not the highest. It seems to be the first time that Putin reported on a state of battle preparation for Russia’s atomic weapons.
According to an appraisal published in the Announcement for the Nuclear Researchers, Russia has more than 1,500 warheads transmitted and only about 3,000 for potential later use.
Pavel Felgenhauer, a Russian military inspector, stated that Mr. Putin's declaration implied Russia's atomic power was currently ready to send off.
This could reduce response times.
However, it could also be a presentation or brinkmanship.
Jen Psaki, White House press secretary, stated that Russia has never been in NATO danger. She said, "This is an instance that we've seen in President Putin throughout contention, which produces dangers that don’t exist to legitimize any further hostilities." "The international community and the American public should also examine this crystal out.
This is what we've seen him do again and again."
Russia's Belarusian partner held a mandate on Sunday to decide whether it would be willing to give up its non-nuclear position to allow atomic weapons to go there. Russian news agencies reported that the mandate passed.
This is a normal development in Belarus' tightly controlled political system.
What are NATO and the West doing about Russia?
As the Ukrainian opposition-held firm throughout the week, the West accelerated its response on Sunday. Russia intensified its attack.
In a remarkable gesture of support, the European Association announced Sunday that it would finance the purchase and transportation of weapons to Ukraine.
Similar to the sanctions imposed on Russia, the EU also imposed sanctions against Belarus. This is a major shift in EU strategy that has up until now prevented any destructive engagement in conflicts.
On February 27, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated that his country would make an essential gas save. This is a significant change in the country’s energy strategy which heavily depends on Russian gas.
Germany also stopped the Nord Stream 2 oil and gas pipeline. This is to allow Russia to avoid Ukraine and other nations, and to line its gas straight into Europe at lower costs, establishing its position as an important energy provider.
The U.S. and its European accomplices said that they would also inform sanctions that are used to capture resources from Russia's top leaders held in their location, including those of Mr. Putin, Unfamiliar Pastor Sergei Lavrov, and make it more difficult for Russia to access its unknown stores and the rest of the global monetary framework.
NATO partners are also strengthening the union's eastern side, which borders Ukraine. They send plane contenders and boats there.
While the EU has laid out plans to award credits and other awards to Ukraine over $1.3 billion, the U.S. demanded a large number of troops to prepare for any organization.
The U.S. moved to provide up to $350million for an additional military guide for Ukraine. To prepare for any possible sending, the Pentagon asked for large numbers of troops.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg described Russia's attack on the Pentagon as a demonstration war. He called it "intentional and heartless" and said that it was long-planned.
