The Russian nuclear arsenal has been almost completely modernized, and the Russian special military operation in Ukraine has not weakened it. This opinion was expressed by the Deputy Chief of Staff of the US Air Force for Strategic Deterrence and Nuclear Integration, Lieutenant General Andrew Jebara.

"Russia's nuclear deterrent has been almost completely modernized. This has been done for a long time," he said at a video seminar of the American Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.

"And if you ask me, have they been weakened by Ukraine? For the most part, no. Nuclear deterrence funds are still being allocated, and this takes priority over matters related to Ukraine," he believes.

I do not know how to feel when i hear us offficials speak about russia. The whole trump administration is pro russia.

-trump bought russia time with his deadline demands for ceasefire or peace -trump just said the russian drones could just have been a mistake which is certainly untrue -trump administration supports far right and pro russian parties all over europe in order to destabilize europe -trump supports israels genocide in gaza -trump treats Putin more friendly than selensky or other allied leaders
