NATO, despite threats from Russia, does not see the need to change the level of nuclear alert against the backdrop of a military special operation in Ukraine. This is reported by the Associated Press with reference to the words of the Secretary General of the alliance Jens Stoltenberg.
Stoltenberg expressed this opinion after negotiations on European security with Polish President Andrzej Duda. They met at the air base in Laska in central Poland, where Polish and American NATO fighters are based. “We will always do whatever is necessary to protect our allies, but we do not think there is a need to change the alert levels of NATO nuclear forces now,” Stoltenberg said.
Earlier, on February 27, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the transfer of the Russian deterrence forces to a special mode of service.
As specified on the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the strategic deterrence forces (SNS) are the basis of the combat power of the RF Armed Forces, designed to deter aggression against the Russian Federation and its allies, as well as to defeat the aggressor in a war using various types of weapons, including nuclear. The SNA is based on the strategic nuclear forces, which include the Strategic Missile Forces.
Responding to Putin’s order, US President Joe Biden assured Americans that they do not have to worry about nuclear war.
