President Vladimir Putin on Thursday oversaw a military exercise
involving Russia's nuclear forces amid escalating tensions over Ukraine.
While Putin said the exercise had been planned back in November, it
comes as relations between Russia and the West have plunged to their
lowest point since the Cold War over Ukraine.
Putin, speaking from the Defense Ministry's headquarters where he
oversaw the exercise along with leaders of several ex-Soviet nations
which are members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, said
that the maneuvers involved the military across the entire Russian
territory, including the nation's nuclear forces.
