The Russian President stressed that Russia needs to take into account the nuclear capabilities of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization “NATO”.

He explained: “Under today’s conditions, when all the leading countries of NATO have declared that their main goal is to inflict a strategic defeat on us, so that our people suffer, as they say, how can we ignore their nuclear capabilities in these circumstances?”
