Russia Notifies the U.S. of Planned Nuclear Forces Exercises

Russia has notified the United States of its annual planned exercises for nuclear forces, according to the Biden administration. This action, according to Washington officials, reduces the risk of miscalculations amid irresponsible rhetoric surrounding Russian nuclear forces.

As reported by golosameriki.com, the United States expects Russia to launch missiles as part of its annual "Lightning" strategic nuclear exercises, noting that Moscow has previously launched intercontinental ballistic missiles during these drills. According to the New START arms control treaty, Russia is obligated to notify Washington in advance of ballistic missile launches, the Pentagon said.
