Similar exercises were conducted last year, and this week, Russia once again showcased them as a demonstration of nuclear strength against the West amid escalating tensions related to the war in Ukraine.
The movement of Russian forces takes place in the context of growing geopolitical rivalry with NATO countries, intensifying regional tensions and reinforcing Moscow’s nuclear deterrence strategy.
