Putin Says Nuclear Triad Guarantees Russian Sovereignty, Global Balance of Power
Russian president names strengthening of the nuclear triad as one of the country's "unconditional priorities," according to state news agency TASS.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the country's nuclear triad serves as a guarantee of national sovereignty and helps maintain the international balance of power, according to a report by the Russian state news agency TASS.
TASS reported that Putin described the strengthening of the nuclear triad as one of Russia's "unconditional priorities," though the agency did not specify the occasion or full context in which the remarks were made.
The nuclear triad typically refers to a country's combined capability to deliver nuclear weapons via land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles and strategic bombers. Russia, alongside the United States, maintains one of the world's largest nuclear arsenals.
TASS did not provide additional details in the excerpt regarding specific programs, timelines or figures related to the triad's development that Putin may have referenced.
Further details of the statement, including the venue and any accompanying policy announcements, were not immediately available.
