Vladimir Putin has attempted to “blackmail” the West by upgrading Russia’s strategic nuclear forces to their “highest level of combat readiness”, Ukrainian intelligence has warned, as President Biden arrived in Kyiv to reaffirm support for the defending nation. In the hours leading up to Mr Biden’s European tour, Russia reportedly began “large-scale” nuclear exercises, including preparing “components of the strategic nuclear forces for the launch of sea and land-based ballistic missiles”, and the carrying out of a “a check of the centralised combat control system of the Russian Air Force ‘Monolith’”, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
