Rising Tensions: Nuclear Stockpiles in Europe

Russia has criticized the increase of U.S. nuclear weapons in Europe, claiming it disrupts strategic stability. The Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that recent NATO nuclear drills exacerbate tensions. Both NATO and Russia have held similar exercises, raising concerns about escalating risks.

Russia has expressed significant concerns over the U.S. increasing its nuclear weapons stockpiles across Europe, including Britain, asserting that such moves undermine strategic stability.

According to Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, NATO's recent nuclear drills are contributing to heightened tensions and increased risks. Russia has also been conducting similar exercises this month, adding to the strain.

The developments are seen as contributing to an escalating arms race, as both NATO and Russian activities have stirred anxiety about the potential consequences of increased military posturing in the region.
