Amid escalating tensions, the Kremlin announced on Monday that Russia would conduct nuclear drills in response to what it deemed as "unprecedented" comments from Western leaders, particularly French President Emmanuel Macron, regarding the potential deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine. The decision for the drills, ordered by President Vladimir Putin, comes amidst unspecified Western "threats" perceived by Russia.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov clarified that the remarks prompting the drills were primarily attributed to Macron and British representatives. According to Peskov, these statements indicated a willingness to deploy NATO forces to Ukraine, positioning them against Russian military interests. He described this development as a "completely new round of escalating tensions," stressing the need for "special measures" in response.

Macron's recent remarks suggested that sending troops to Ukraine would be a legitimate consideration if Russia breached Ukrainian front lines and Kyiv sought such assistance. He underscored the unpredictable nature of the situation, referencing Putin's own actions.
In a similar vein, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron emphasized Ukraine's right to target sites within Russia, further contributing to the heightened rhetoric surrounding the conflict. However, NATO has reiterated its stance of not deploying troops to Ukraine, despite ongoing Western military support for Ukrainian forces in their confrontation with Russia.
The looming prospect of nuclear drills underscores the deepening divisions between Russia and Western powers over the Ukraine crisis, with each side responding to perceived provocations with heightened military preparedness.
