Russia is ready to conduct nuclear tests in the Arctic, according to a senior military official as Vladimir Putin pushes on with more drills.

Rear Admiral Andrei Sinitsyn, director of a former Soviet test site in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, said the facilities are prepared for immediate use if ordered.

Speaking to the state-owned Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Sinitsyn said: “The test site is ready to resume full-scale testing activities… The laboratory and testing facilities are ready. The personnel are ready.”

This announcement comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and the West, with Moscow signalling its nuclear capabilities as a deterrent.

Sinitsyn claimed that foreign intelligence agencies were monitoring the site, which he interpreted as “likely sign of a concern over nuclear tests”. (Read more from “‘At Any Moment!’ Russia ‘Fully Ready’ to Detonate Nuclear Bomb in Arctic After Putin’s UK Threat” HERE)
