The White House said that there is no need yet to raise the level of alert in the US nuclear forces, after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the mobilization of Russia’s nuclear deterrent forces.

White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki considered President Putin’s decision “part of a broader pattern of unjustified escalation and artificial threats from the Kremlin,” noting that “this is a pattern we saw from President Putin during the course of this conflict, which is to create threats that do not exist in order to justify further aggression.” “.

She added, “Russia has not at any time been threatened by NATO… We have the ability to defend ourselves.”
