President Vladimir Putin has ordered new nuclear weapons drills in the face of Western “threats,” as a Ukrainian drone attack killed six people and wounded over 30 in Russia’s Belgorod border region. Russia’s defence ministry said on Monday, the exercises would be held in the “near future” and involve the air force, navy and troops stationed near Ukraine. Putin has upped his nuclear rhetoric, warning in an address to the nation in February there was a “real” risk of nuclear war.
