Russia informs US about its plans to carry out annual exercises of its nuclear forces, a decision Washington says lowers risk of miscalculation at a time of 'reckless' nuclear rhetoric
Washington says Moscow complied with agreements to inform the United States of tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
Under the New START Treaty, Russia is obliged to provide advance notification of such missile launches, US officials say. Russia on Tuesday also took allegations to the UN Security Council that Ukraine is preparing to use a "dirty bomb" on its own territory, an assertion flatly dismissed by Western and Ukrainian officials as misinformation and a pretext for escalating the conflict.
With Ukrainian forces advancing into Russian-occupied Kherson province, threatening a major defeat for Moscow, Russian officials phoned their Western counterparts on Sunday and Monday to communicate their allegations about a "dirty bomb."
