On June 11, 2024, at 11:02 AM local time, Russian Tu-22M3 bombers took off from Belarus for a strategic nuclear military exercise. Russian and Belarusian forces conducted a second wave of tactical nuclear exercises on the same day, with Russian military also announcing a 'precision strike' exercise in the Atlantic as a show of force to the West, escalating tensions in response to Western support for Ukraine against Russian aggression. While Russia and Belarus carried out exercises, French military advisors began training Ukrainian forces, and the U.S. relaxed restrictions on military aid to Ukraine. Russia, by deploying tactical nuclear weapons near borders and conducting joint exercises, emphasized its readiness to use nuclear weapons, warning of dire consequences if NATO countries engage in direct conflict with Russia.
