Russia's nuclear arsenal and its control under President Vladimir Putin are discussed, along with recent testing of nuclear-powered cruise missiles and strategic intercontinental ballistic missiles. Russia has offered to negotiate a nuclear drawdown with the United States, with the condition that the US dismantles its nuclear infrastructure and removes all its nuclear warheads from Europe. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev issued a nuclear warning, threatening to use nuclear weapons if Ukraine's counteroffensive succeeds. Russia is unlikely to attack Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant due to the potential international response and the impact on Russia's role in nuclear energy supply chains.
