On Monday, the Kremlin explained that Putin’s decision to put its nuclear deterrent force on alert was a reaction to British diplomat Liz Truss’s words about possible clashes between Russia and NATO.

Truss declared on Sunday that “if we don’t stop Putin in Ukraine, there will be other countries threatened, like the Baltic countries, Poland, Moldova. And this could end up in a conflict with NATO.”
