A British government report on the future of British nuclear deterrents stated that the threat associated with the use of nuclear weapons is increasing and will likely remain high over the next two decades.
British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said that "nuclear risks are increasing" and claimed that Russia is "irresponsibly trying to use talk of nuclear weapons to force other countries to stop providing assistance" to the Kiev regime.
According to the report, the minister stated that “China is rapidly increasing the number of its warheads and expanding its existing arsenal of means of transport for these Russians. Now new members are joining the old members of the nuclear club.”
The British minister believes that, against the backdrop of the development of the nuclear programs of North Korea and Iran, his country must maintain its status as a "responsible nuclear state" and continue working to modernize Britain's nuclear arsenal and its fleet of strategic missile submarines.
Earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia's nuclear triad is more modern than any other country .
The Russian president added: "In fact, only we and the Americans have such a trinity. We have the entire nuclear component, more modern. And everyone knows that."
President Putin stressed that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons, if it is related to the existence of the Russian state, and is related to harming the country's sovereignty and independence.
