Vladimir Putin has issued a chilling threat to deploy nuclear-capable missiles that can travel at speeds of 16,700 miles per hour over the festive period.<\/p>\n

The Russian leader’s generals have moved more than 1,000 strategic missile troops and equipment for exercises in the Ivanovo region northeast of Moscow.<\/p>\n

Among the machinery is Russia’s nuclear-capable Yars intercontinental missile system, according to the defence ministry.<\/p>\n

Last month, two ballistic missiles launched from the RS-24 Yars “went off course” during drills. However, the Kremlin claimed it was confident in the system\u2019s ability to deliver warheads to their targets.<\/p>\n

The missiles can reach speeds of 16,700mph, striking targets up to 7,500 miles away. Each missile can be equipped with 6-10 150-kiloton nuclear warheads.<\/p>\n

The news comes amid questions about continuing Western aid to Ukraine, particularly from the US, something which appears to have buoyed Putin and his henchmen.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Russian newspaper Izvestia, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said: “The Kyiv regime promised them that if you give us $100billion, we will have a victory on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

“The Americans now understand they were duped. There is no victory on the battlefield and, to be sure, Ukrainian forces are rapidly losing their positions. This is an inevitable process.”<\/p>\n

He added: “The latest allocation by America of $200million was quite modest. This puts the Kyiv regime in difficulty and we are going to be following this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Vladimir Putin declared his intention to run for another presidential term, extending his over two-decade rule, according to state media.<\/p>\n
