Putin says Russia does not intend to “get drawn into an arms race”
He said this while commenting on joint nuclear force drills with Belarus.
“It is important to continue raising the level of readiness of the strategic and tactical nuclear forces and to develop all of their components. At the same time, as I have already said, we do not intend to get drawn into an arms race. Our nuclear triad will remain at the level of necessary sufficiency. We are doing everything that had been planned decades in advance,” Vladimir Putin noted.
