Putin calls for strengthening Russia’s military nuclear potential

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin on Thursday called for reinforcing the country’s military nuclear potential and making sure its missiles can penetrate any missile-defence systems.

“We need to strengthen the military potential of strategic nuclear forces, especially with missile complexes that can reliably penetrate any existing and prospective missile defence systems,” Putin said at a defence ministry meeting, quoted by Russian agencies.

“We must carefully monitor any changes in the balance of power and in the political-military situation in the world, especially along Russian borders, and quickly adapt plans for neutralising threats to our country.”
