The nuclear exercise comes amid escalating tensions between Moscow and the West over Ukraine. Following the outbreak of the Ukraine war, the United States and some European countries provided arms, financial, and intelligence assistance to Ukraine while exerting increasing pressure on Russia.

Russia ordered a military strike on Ukraine on February 24. This development came days after Moscow formally recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics in eastern Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that the goal of his military operation is to “demilitarize Ukraine” and “de-Naziize” Russia.
