(Worthy News) – NATO on Monday began its long-planned annual nuclear exercises in northwestern Europe as tensions simmer over the war in Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threat to use any means to defend Russian territory.
Fourteen of NATO’s 30 member countries were due to take part in the exercises, which the military alliance said would involve around 60 aircraft including fighter jets and surveillance and refueling planes.
The bulk of the war games will be held at least 1,000 kilometers (625 miles) from Russia’s borders. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
