Russia will test its nuclear cruise missiles in an exercise that, if successful, will be used as leverage in negotiations with Western countries. This was reported by the spokesperson for the Ukrainian military intelligence division ahead of the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. He did not estimate when this would happen and did not detail how he reached this conclusion. Reuters news agency reported, citing two American researchers and a Western security source, that Moscow is preparing to test these cruise missiles in Novaya Zemlya in northern Russia. The researchers presented satellite images showing extensive activity at the site, and a large presence of personnel and equipment related to similar tests conducted in the past.
