Russia’s revelation that the military was training missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads in Moscow is being taken seriously by the world community. The revelation comes as Russian forces continue their offensive against the Azovstal steel factory in Mariupol, where Ukrainian soldiers and civilians live.
Authorities say the Russian military conducted the missile test in the western city of Kaliningrad. Russia’s Defense Ministry has announced that the Russian military has launched an ‘electronic launch’ of an Iskander mobile ballistic missile system capable of carrying a nuclear warhead in the Baltic Sea between Poland and Lithuania. The missiles were aimed at single and double targets. About 100 soldiers took part in the experiment.

US support to overthrow Russian generals
What shocked Russia the most during the Ukraine occupation was the death of several Russian generals on the battlefield. The killing of top military officials is seen as a major setback for Russia’s rapid progress. The New York Times reported that the United States had provided intelligence to the Ukrainian military to assassinate Russian generals.
The report states that the United States provided Ukraine with accurate information about Russian military operations and Russia’s mobile military headquarters, and that Russian officers were killed in attacks by Ukraine. But neither the Pentagon nor the White House has confirmed this. The Ukrainian military claims that 12 Russian civilians were killed in the attack.
