Nato to review nuclear weapon policy as attitude to Russia hardens
Alliance to discuss military exercises and missile guidelines in development harking back to Washington v Moscow rhetoric during cold war
Alliance to discuss military exercises and missile guidelines in development harking back to Washington v Moscow rhetoric during cold war
Nato, in an echo of the cold war, is preparing to re-evaluate its nuclear weapons strategy in response to growing tension with Russia over Ukraine, sources at the organisation have said.
Updating Nato’s nuclear policy would amount to an escalation in tit-for-tat exchanges with Russia since the Ukraine crisis erupted last year. Expressing concern over President Vladimir Putin’s announcement last week that Russia was to buy 40 new intercontinental ballistic missiles, Nato officials also said there was alarm over Russian rhetoric on nuclear weapons and the extent to which such weapons are involved in military exercises.

'Armenia is not a new Maidan. Please don't make it one'by Paul Goble for The Interpreter, part of the New East network

Outstanding Russian foreign secretary and PM who served under Yeltsin and Gorbachev
Yevgeny Primakov, who has died aged 85, was an outstanding foreign minister and prime minister of the Russian Federation in the 1990s. He was a bold critic of the oligarchs and their neoliberal capitalism, a staunch defender of Russian national interests after the pro-western foreign policy of the early post-Soviet years, and a man whom many Russians considered the best president their country never had.
His popularity peaked towards the end of Boris Yeltsin’s presidency, when he supported inquiries into allegations of corrupt practice by Yeltsin and his entourage. They responded by unleashing a torrent of smears against him on state television and selecting Vladimir Putin, then head of the Federal Security Bureau, the KGB’s successor, to take over from Yeltsin.
