Putin has Ordered the Deployment of Nuclear Deterrence Forces

“After Putin's statement yesterday that he is ready to raise the readiness of his nuclear weapons, which is insane in itself - I can't believe we can say that in 2022, but we hope there is no such risk. However, we cannot remain indifferent and we checked what is the possibility of having these tablets in our reserve. We have seen that they have expired and today in the decisions there is that we will get these pills, no matter what scenario develops,” said Prime Minister Kiril Petkov.

“It turned out that part of our signal/siren system is not able to work, so we made a decision on it. I do not want to panic anyone, people must be calm, but we must be ready,” he added.
