Plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus ‘irresponsible’, says Nato; Ukrainian military says Russian attack on Avdiivka is devastating
Russia plans to complete coastal infrastructure needed to host nuclear submarines in the Pacific Ocean, TASS news agency reported on Monday.
The nuclear submarines will be capable of carrying the Poseidon nuclear-capable super torpedos first produced in January, four years after they were announced.
A policy of dramatic fiscal austerity that comes at the expense of the fabric of Ukrainian society and the state will have huge long-run costs. The EU, the United States and other outside supporters can soften this dilemma best a. by providing more generous funding and b. by urging Kyiv towards a strategy of civilian as well as military state-building, not by replacing domestic national institutions with international agencies, but by promoting the mobilization of local institutions and agencies.
