Putin called the nuclear triad the guarantor of SG sovereignty in the face of threats

Given the growing tension in the world and new threats, the nuclear triad should continue to serve as a guarantor of the sovereignty of the Union State of Russia and Belarus. This was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 21.

"Given the growing tension in the world, the emergence of new threats and risks, our nuclear triad, as before, must serve as a reliable guarantor of the sovereignty of the Union State of Russia and Belarus," BelTA quoted him as saying.

According to the head of state, the nuclear triad is also capable of solving the tasks of strategic deterrence, maintaining nuclear parity and the balance of power at the global level.

On the same day, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said that Belarus and Russia do not threaten anyone, but they are ready to defend their common Homeland from Brest to Vladivostok in every possible way.

Back in June last year, Putin stated that the nuclear triad remains the guarantor of Russia's sovereignty. According to the Russian leader, at the moment the share of modern weapons and equipment in the strategic nuclear forces is 95%. He added that this is now the highest rate among the world's nuclear powers.
