BREAKING: Putin Move For Major Attack, Orders Military Command To Put Nuclear Deterrence Forces On High Alert

• Vladimir Putin has ordered his military command to put Russia’s nuclear deterrence forces on high alert.

• Putin said aggressive statements by NATO leaders and economic sanctions against Moscow were behind his decision.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that this comes as Ukrainian intelligence has learned from within Belarus that “special ops” troops have been spotted loading up planes for a major attack.

Speaking on state television, he said: “As you can see, not only do Western countries take unfriendly measures against our country in the economic dimension – illegitimate sanctions that everyone knows about.

Russian leader cited aggressive statements by NATO leaders and severe economic sanctions against Moscow.

“But also the highest-ranking officials of leading NATO countries are allowing themselves to make aggressive statements in relation to our country.

“For this reason, I order the minister of defence and the chief of general staff to put deterrent forces on special combat duty.”

He ordered the Russian defence minister and the chief of the military’s General Staff to put the nuclear deterrent forces in a “special regime of combat duty”.

The US Ambassador to the United Nations says Putin’s order shows the Russian leader is “escalating conflict in a manner that is unacceptable”.

Putin is said to becoming increasingly frustrated at the slower-than-expected pace of the invasion as Russian troops have so far failed to capture the capital of Kyiv.
