nuclear weapons

To justify the invasion of Ukraine, the Russian propaganda machine has been spreading fake news that Ukraine has a "nuclear programme", which it alleges that the country has intensified since 2014.

According to Ukrainian intelligence, most members of the Russian elite are now busy evacuating their relatives and loved ones from Moscow to Georgia, Israel and the UAE.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated that a third World War would be nuclear.

The Russian Minister of Defence, Sergey Shoygu, has reported to President Putin that the command centres of the rocket troops of the Russian Federation have begun operating with increased staff.
