Russian President Vladimir Putin supervised a major nuclear forces drill just hours after US President Donald Trump canceled their planned summit and imposed new sanctions on Moscow. The exercise showcased Russia's full nuclear triad — land-based missiles, submarine-launched ICBMs, and strategic bombers — all in a powerful display of military might. While the Kremlin claims the drills were pre-planned, the timing sends a chilling message as tensions over Ukraine continue to rise.
