The Russian defense explained that the exercise aims to “maintain the readiness of personnel and equipment of units involved in the combat use of non-strategic nuclear weapons, in order to respond and to unconditionally ensure the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Russian state in response to provocative statements and threats issued by some Western officials against Russia.”
