RUTTE MONITORS RUSSIA: Moscow Nuclear Drills Trigger NATO Alert, Warning Issued | Times Now World

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the alliance is closely monitoring large-scale Russian nuclear exercises involving strategic missile forces, submarines, long-range bombers and units stationed in Belarus. Russia’s Defense Ministry says the May 19–21 drills involve around 64,000 troops, 200 missile launchers and 86 ships and submarines, amid escalating tensions over the war in Ukraine. Rutte warned that any Russian use of nuclear weapons would trigger “devastating” consequences, as NATO ramps up missile defense, military production and deterrence efforts across Europe. #nato, #russia, #markrutte, #putin, #ukrainewar, #nuclearweapons, #nucleardrills, #belarus, #russiaukrainewar, #natonews, #russianmilitary, #europe, #worldnews, #breakingnews, #geopolitics, #militarynews, #nuclearthreat, #ukraine, #kremlin, #russianucleardrills Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
