Putin ordenó maniobras con armas nucleares tácticas debido a “amenazas” de Occidente

El presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, ordenó a las Fuerzas Armadas realizar “en breve” maniobras con armas nucleares tácticas debido a las “amenazas” de Occidente, según informó este lunes el Ministerio de Defensa de Rusia.

“Durante los ejercicios se llevarán a cabo una serie de actividades (…) para la preparación y el uso de armas nucleares no estratégicas”, señala el comunicado castrense.

Estas maniobras con misiles, en las que participará tanto la aviación como la Armada, serán efectuadas por las fuerzas del Distrito Militar Sur, que limita con Ucrania.

Además, añade la nota, los ejercicios buscan “mejorar el nivel de preparación de las fuerzas nucleares no estratégicas a la hora de realizar misiones de combate”.

El Ejército ruso se propone “garantizar de manera incondicional la integridad territorial y la soberanía del Estado ruso en respuesta a las declaraciones provocadoras y las amenazas vertidas por ciertos dirigentes occidentales contra la Federación Rusa”.

Al respecto, el vocero del Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov, aseguró el lunes que los ejercicios son una respuesta a las afirmaciones del presidente francés, Emmanuel Macron, y de otros altos funcionarios británicos.

“Ellos hablaron sobre la disposición e incluso intención de enviar contingentes militares a Ucrania, es decir, poner a los soldados de la OTAN frente a los militares rusos. Esa es una nueva espiral de escalada de la tensión. No tiene precedentes y exige una especial atención y medidas especiales”, dijo.

En declaraciones a The Economist, Macron volvió a insistir hace unos días en que no descarta el envío de tropas de la OTAN a territorio ucraniano.

En febrero pasado, en respuesta a supuestos planes de la OTAN de desplegar tropas en Ucrania, Putin destacó que las fuerzas estratégicas nucleares rusas se encuentran “en plena disposición de combate”.

Rusia revocó el año pasado la ratificación del Tratado de Prohibición Completa de los Ensayos Nucleares (CTBT), aunque mantiene en vigor la moratoria mientras EEUU no realice pruebas de ese tipo.
