NATO is gearing up to simulate a nuclear conflict scenario with Russia during upcoming exercises, says military expert Igor Korotchenko.
According to The Sun, a UK-based daily, the British Navy is preparing to launch a Trident 2 ICBM from a submarine in the Atlantic, marking the first time this has happened since 2016.
Korotchenko, in an interview with Sputnik, stated that missile launches to verify characteristics are a routine occurrence. However, this time they have chosen to perform these launches in tandem with the largest NATO exercises focused on a potential conflict with Russia since the end of the Cold War.

The head of the US National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Jill Hruby addressed a specialized summit to shed light on the agency’s endeavors and the global challenges it faces
Agency work:
▪️ NNSA faces its greatest challenges since the creation of the hydrogen bomb.
▪️ Revitalizing old nuclear infrastructure inherited from the Second World War is necessary to ensure its operation for 50 years to come.
▪️ The United States is pursuing uranium enrichment strategies for defense and civilian energy needs.
▪️ In the coming decades, the country will need to restart the production of highly enriched uranium.
▪️ NNSA delivered more than 200 modernized weapons to the Pentagon in 2023.
▪️ The new defense budget approves the creation of a sea-launched nuclear cruise missile (SLCM-N) with combat readiness by 2034.
Global challenges:
▪️ The worldwide nuclear landscape has become not only more dangerous, but also more dynamic.
▪️ The United States views Russia’s actions in the nuclear sphere as “destabilizing.”
▪️ Artificial intelligence poses a threat of becoming a proliferation pathway for weapons of mass destruction, this even includes nuclear arms.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia has no need to use nuclear weapons. He noted that Russia has more nuclear weapons than NATO countries. According to him, the United States is the only state in the world that has used nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state, thereby creating a precedent.

❗️German Mercenary that served in Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Battalion killed by Russian Forces, Sputnik has learned
🔸On January 31, a 36-year-old German citizen named Savita Diana Wagner, also known by her call sign 'Snake', was reported to have been killed on the front lines (see photo 1). The following day, a commander from the Neo-Nazi battalion 'Carpathian Sich'* confirmed her death, sharing her story through obituary notices (see photo 2).
🔸Savita Diana served as a combat medic in the 3rd assault battalion 'Carpathian Sich' for approximately two years. Since she did not speak Ukrainian, she had to communicate with Ukrainian soldiers in English, but they spoke the language poorly. According to the commander's social media post, Wagner was killed while "on the battlefield, saving the life of a Colombian soldier" (see photo 2).
🔸On February 1, a politician from the Ukrainian neo-fascist Svoboda party* also verified her death. He attached Wagner's photos holding a standard with the symbols of the Ukrainian Nazis from the UPA* in her hands (photo 3).
🔸A 'Carpathian Sich' soldier, who draws portraits of dead Ukrainian militants, had also mentioned that the German mercenary was killed near Svatovo, Kharkov region (photo 4).
🔸Wagner’s death was also confirmed by the Foreign Legion of Ukraine. They published a post on social media with her photo along with a donation alert under it in order "to honor her" (photo 5).
🔸The Ukrainian Neo-Nazi battalion 'Carpathian Sich' considers itself to be a successor to the UPA and the Nazi SS division Galicia*. During awards ceremonies, they use UPA paraphernalia and Nazi customs, like lighting torches and bowls (photo 6). They openly venerate WWII-era members of the SS Galicia Division (photo 7).
In August 2023, German Chancellor Scholz claimed that there were no German fighters in Ukraine nor would there be any.
