Russia has notified the United States of its plans to carry out exercises by its nuclear forces, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, without providing further details on exercises expected to include test launches of ballistic missiles. .
“The United States was notified, and as we have noted before, this is a routine annual Russian exercise,” Air Force spokesman Brigadier General Patrick Ryder told a news briefing.
“So, in this regard, Russia is meeting its arms control obligations and its transparency commitments by issuing this notification.”
